Artist FAQs
What do you look for in artists?
We look for distinctive style, professional approach, and ability to create commercially viable work. Most importantly, we look for artists who are excited to grow and collaborate.
Do I need previous licensing experience?
While experience is helpful, it's not required. We're happy to guide artists who show strong potential and understanding of commercial markets.
Can I still sell my own work if you represent me?
Yes! We'll clearly define which markets and categories we're representing you in, leaving you free to pursue other opportunities.
How involved are you in the creative process?
We provide market insights and direction while respecting your creative vision. Think of it as a collaborative partnership focused on creating commercially successful art.
How often will I need to create new work?
This varies based on market demand and opportunities, but expect to develop new collections throughout the year. We'll work together to establish a comfortable pace.
How long does it take to hear back about submissions?
Due to high submission volumes, response time is typically 4-8 weeks for portfolios that align with our current needs.
How are royalties handled?
We manage all licensing agreements, royalty collections, and payments. Royalties are typically paid quarterly, with clear reporting on all licensed uses.
Do you charge artists any fees?
We do not charge to be represented by Tantau Studio. We earn our commission only when we successfully license your work.
What about international licensing?
We work with manufacturers worldwide and handle all international licensing agreements and payments, making it seamless for our artists.
