Q: What is a non-exclusive license?

A non-exclusive license allows you to choose an existing design from my collection to be printed and used on your products within a single product category. These designs may also be licensed by other brands and remain available for purchase through platforms like Spoonflower, where they can be printed on fabric, wallpaper, and other materials by the wider public.

Q: What is and exclusive licence?

A exclusive license , on the other hand, means the design is reserved just for your use within an agreed category and region. We’ll discuss and confirm all the details together—such as how long the license runs, what products it covers, and in which territory. For example, if you license a design exclusively for use on gift wrap in the UK, I may still license it for use on fabric in Australia, or stationery in a different region. I will retain full copyright and ownership of the design, but during the agreed period, it won’t be licensed to anyone else for the same category and territory. When the license term ends, you’ll have the first opportunity to renew before it becomes available again.

Question 1

What is Licensing?

Accepted Answer

Art licensing is where you ‘rent’ my artwork from me to use exclusively or non-exclusively on your products for a set period of time. Payment could be royalties (commission rates are typically in the 3%-10% range on wholesale price), or just a flat fee.

Question 4

How much does a license cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is tailored to each project, as there are several factors I consider when putting together a quote (you’ll find these listed on my Licensing Enquiry Form). If you’re interested in licensing a design, simply fill out the form—it gives me all the details I need to provide you with an accurate quote.

Question 5

Can you change the colours?

Accepted Answer

Vector designs can be adjusted to specific colour values (such as Pantone), while watercolour-based artwork allows for background changes and subtle colour tweaks.

Question 6

Are your designs seamless?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all my designs are supplied as a seamless PDF so they can be printed continuously.
