In this short video I will share with you my journey (so far) as a licensing artist.
A short while back art licensing artist and educator Tara Reed encouraged us artists to make a video of our art licensing story to share on online. Now, I am a little camera shy, but decided to give that web cam a try after a little more prompting from Tara and my art licensing friend Jen Goode. I am also very blessed to have a husband and business partner, Benjamin Hummel who thought the idea of animating my fireflies would be a fun project. He stayed with his vision and directed and edited the whole thing for me. So in short, this fun little video came together and is now LIVE on my YouTube channel for your viewing pleasure.

I really enjoyed your video. It really gives me more of an understanding of what you are doing. Ben you did an excellent job of presenting this for Cherish.
Hi Cherish, I am an artist in SC. I have recently been exploring the idea of art licensing. I just wanted to visit your website and tell you how much I appreciate your video. I stumbled upon it while visiting Tara Reed’s art licensing blog. Some months ago, I downloaded the Something to Cherish tool bar for my computer. I did not put the two together in until just now. Wow! I have really enjoyed the tool bar. It has been very resourceful. Thank you so much! You can visit my website @ http://www.ladypaintsalot.com. I am also on twitter! I will have to try to connect with you if you are on there. Hopefully we will meet in person one day! Maybe when I figure all of this art licensing stuff out! Hehe! Have a great day and thank you again for sharing such great info!
