A gentlemen asked in your response above how to deal with licensing art as a subset of his architectural company. You suggested he create a division of his company as a way to capitilize on his exhisiting reputation.

What would you suggest for artist that works in several mediums and styles? You talk about creating a recognizable visual identity, ie. brand with your artwork. But how to reconcile and present multiple identities? Perhaps you could do a blog post on this?

To use myself as an example I am currently working to realign my licensing web site: http://erinbrandberg.com with my fine art photography web site: http://erinsparler.com. We are changing the title, colors and format of the site, so that they will be similar and recognizable as the same individual. But how to align such completely different styles of work? Any suggestions on this topic?

Great post, once again. I just shared this with a friend who has started doing designs for a T-shirt company. I can see using this for my fine-art painting commissions. Thanks for being an art advocate.

Thanks for your comment and your question. Go to this post that I wrote with details on how to price a wall mural: http://mariabrophy.com/business-of-art/how-to-price-a-wall-mural-developing-a-price-sheet-and-proposal.html

Be sure to include in the proposal wording that gives you extra $ per hour should there be unexpected issues with the surface – this could be a problem if you don’t give yourself wiggle room on the pricing should the surface require more work than planned.

I hope this is helpful – good luck!
