Published: Nov. 15, 2022, 12:14 p.m.

In Episode 1 I vulnerably shared my business revenue from the last 13 years. But many people ask how much I make from art licensing alone. I will never forget the moment that I learned what surface pattern design is and that it was actually an incredible career opportunity. I mean\u2014doodle and draw for a living? Yes, please. Many of you also want to know if you can only design and make a living from it. In this episode, I\u2019m going to be completely transparent about my overall licensing income alone\u2014but you also need to know that I haven\u2019t pursued licensing my own work in the last few years, though I\u2019m working on a new portfolio right now. In this episode, we\u2019ll discuss what art licensing is, how licensing builds over time, and playing the long game. You\u2019ll hear my personal story, but I hope you\u2019ll also learn what\u2019s possible for you.
