Licensed Artwork

Some Key Projects and Partners

Licensed artwork is artwork that has been granted a license by the intellectual property (IP) or copyright holder for use in specific ways or contexts. This can include things like using a copyrighted image on a t-shirt, using a song in a movie or TV show, or using a character from a book or comic in a video game.

The terms of the license agreement will determine how the artwork can be used and by whom, and will include financial compensation for the use of the artwork.

Over the years I have worked on lots of IP from many franchises. Some of the more recent illustrations, however, have been associated with some of my favorite franchises from books and films in partnership with our friends over at Printed in Blood, PosterPosse, and TitanBooks

Hannibal, television series

Licensed by Gaumont, through Printed in Blood, we illustrated a portrait of the main protagonist, Hannibal Lecter portrayed by Mads Mikkelsen, from the series Hannibal; produced by Sony Pictures Television for NBC.

All character portraits for this project were required to be approved by the actor’s themselves to ensure it met their standards for likeness.
