Hey First name / friend,

 

Are you frustrated by trying to get noticed in the art licensing industry? Maybe one of these discouraging thoughts has crossed your mind a time or two…

Believe me, I understand the frustration! I also felt like I was shouting into the void trying to get noticed when I first started out.

 

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard these limiting beliefs from new artists. And that’s exactly what they are — limiting beliefs.

 

Today, I’m busting the myth that the industry is too saturated once and for all. If you want to make it in art licensing, it is possible for you. I see emerging artists signing on at my agency with only a couple years of experience under their belts.

 

The good news is, you didn’t miss the boat. There is still plenty of time for you to build the art career of your dreams.

 

If you add a solid strategy behind your approach, you’ll inevitably find your place in the industry.

 

If you have a unique point of view, create artwork that people actually want to buy, and work to get your art in front of the right people, you can make it as a full-time artist.

 

My brand new program, The Art of Collections, is here to help you push past this limiting belief and take concrete steps to make a name for yourself in the art licensing industry.

 

Over the next 12 months, I’ll walk you through the exact steps I took to grow my own art business to six figures, land dream collaborations, and get my art stocked in thousands of stores around the world!

 

✓ Build a show-stopping portfolio

✓ Pitch your work with confidence

✓ Market yourself & get your work noticed

✓ Land licensing collabs with dream clients

As a thank you for being a founding member, you’ll get a bonus of FIVE live group calls in the month of October when we kick things off (instead of the regular one call per month).

 

Founding members will get more undivided attention from me than will ever be available in the future.

 

I hope to see you inside. You can click here to learn more about the program and get all your questions answered. Still have questions? Reply to this email and ask! My team and I will help you out!

In honor of my new program, The Art of Collections, this week’s #CreateWithCatCoq challenge is based off of one of my top-selling hero illustrations — Retro Sunshine!

Create your own sunny illustration or pattern and share it on Instagram with the hashtag #CreateWithCatCoq. Make sure to tag me @catcoq so I can see what you make!

 

Oh, and here’s a little extra myth busting in case you needed more proof that there is room for your unique voice in this industry. Here are some examples of licensed artists I admire who have used this same motif in their portfolios. Look how different (and stunning) each one is!

I can’t wait to see your sunshine illustrations this week!

 

Don't forget, The Art of Collections closes on September 30th and won't open again until 2025. Click here to learn more and see if it's the right fit for you!
