'Jumpstart Your Art Licensing' featured on the Print & Pattern Blog!
Hi everyone. 'Jumpstart Your Art Licensing' was featured on the Print & Pattern Blog in October 2022.
For those that may not know, the Print & Pattern Blog is the world’s no. 1 blog for surface pattern design. It was voted the 15th best design blog in the world by The Times Newspaper in 2011 and voted as one of the Top 20 Best Interior Design blogs by The Telegraph in 2012.
It was created by designer Marie Perkins in 2006 and she continues to post inspiring illustration and surface pattern design by independent designers, art agencies, retail companies, tradeshows and anything related to the amazing world of surface pattern.
I first discovered the Print & Pattern Blog after buying one of Marie's books, back in 2010. It was always a dream of mine to be featured on her blog. In fact it is a rite-of-passage for every designer to be on her blog! I am immensely grateful that I have been featured 3 times on her blog - twice as an independent artist and once with a collective (2013, 2018 and 2021).
Apart from being a wonderful place to get your work showcased, the Print & Pattern blog is a valuable resource for any surface pattern designer. As well as the daily inspiration, Marie runs a curated freelance directory called 'Designers For Hire'. I was a member of this directory at one stage and would recommend it.
Marie also informs designers of upcoming classes, events, exhibitions, competitions and shows. She also runs a Print & Pattern Jobs Board which advertises design jobs and freelance opportunities.
So as you can see the Print & Pattern blog is a treasure trove for any surface pattern designer and it was a honour for 'Jumpstart Your Art Licensing' to be featured on it. Check out the blog here ♡
