We're a boutique agency representing soulful, strategic artists. Our intentionally small roster allows us to give each artist the attention and opportunities they deserve. If you're creating art that makes people feel and buy, we'd love to hear from you.

We're always open to discovering new talent—especially when it aligns with our values and vision. Our ideal artists:
Have a distinctive style and creative point of view
Create collections with commercial appeal
Want to build long-term licensing relationships
Are open to feedback and collaboration
Have a professional approach to deadlines and communication
We believe in deep partnerships—not just representation. Staying small means we can offer strategic guidance, portfolio development, and personalized support for every artist we represent. It also means we take on new talent very selectively.
We review artist submissions thoughtfully and with care. While our roster is currently full (as of 2025), we’re always open to future opportunities. If your work feels aligned, please submit your portfolio below.
Note: Due to the high number of submissions, we can only respond to artists whose work fits our current needs. Typical response time is 4–8 weeks.
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.
While experience is helpful, it's not required. We're happy to guide artists who show strong potential and understanding of commercial markets.
Yes! We'll clearly define which markets and categories we're representing you in, leaving you free to pursue other opportunities.
We provide market insights and direction while respecting your creative vision. Think of it as a collaborative partnership focused on creating commercially successful art.
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.
Due to high submission volumes, response time is typically 4-8 weeks for portfolios that align with our current needs.
We manage all licensing agreements, royalty collections, and payments. Royalties are typically paid quarterly, with clear reporting on all licensed uses.
We do not charge to be represented by Tantau Studio. We earn our commission only when we successfully license your work.
We work with manufacturers worldwide and handle all international licensing agreements and payments, making it seamless for our artists.
