One of the great mysteries for artists is monetization. Two paths of monetization often overlooked include print on demand services and art licensing. Each can represent a large amount of income if leveraged well, yet so many of us have not cracked the code to be able to do so.
Today's guest on the F-Stop Collaborate and Listen Podcast, Cat Coquillette, has mastered the art of art licensing and selling via print on demand. While Cat's not a landscape photographer, she has invaluable wisdom and provides us with a huge amount of information and inspiration to go forth and prosper. Her artwork is on products in Target, Urban Outfitters, Anthropologie, and more.
On this week's episode, we discuss:
- Cat's journey as an artist what led her to where she's at now.
- Transitioning from a full-time job into a full-time hustle.
- Print on demand platforms and how to use them.
- Making a living by licensing artwork.
- The nuts and bolts of art licensing.
- What inspires Cat's artwork.
- Artist retreats.
- Cat's online classes for creatives.
- Teaching platforms like Skillshare.
- Passive income streams.
- Drawing prompts and more resources for artists.
- And a lot more!
On Patreon this week, Cat shares what her digital nomad lifestyle is like if anyone is curious about doing the same thing.
