Illustration Licensing
If you've spotted one of my illustrations and thought that would work beautifully on our product — you're probably right, and I'd love to hear from you! Licensing allows businesses, publishers and makers to use my existing artwork commercially, without commissioning something new from scratch. It's a good fit when the illustration already exists and suits your needs — and it can be a much faster, more affordable route to distinctive, original artwork than a full commission.
What I license
My nature and wildlife illustrations are the most popular choice for licensing — particularly the British Songbirds collection, which has already appeared on product packaging and gift inserts for a small UK business. But I'm open to enquiries about any of my existing work, including my botanical illustrations, coastal and landscape pieces, and Northumberland-themed artwork.
If you're not sure whether something is available, just ask.
Why licensing?
When you license an illustration from me, you're purchasing the right to use it in a specific way — on a product, in a publication, on packaging, or elsewhere — for an agreed period and territory. The original artwork and copyright remain mine.
Typical uses include:
Greetings cards and stationery
Product packaging and labels
Homeware and gift products
Editorial and publishing
Digital and print marketing materials
Pricing is based on how the image will be used, where, and for how long. I'll always give you a clear, straightforward quote once I understand what you need — no jargon, no hidden extras.
How to get in touch:
If you'd like to license one of my illustrations, or you're not sure yet and just want to explore the idea, I'm happy to have a no-pressure conversation.
Drop me a message with a brief description of what you have in mind — the illustration you're interested in, what you'd like to use it for, and roughly where and when — and I'll come back to you.
If you’re looking to commission something brand new, or bespoke to you, please take a look at my Commissions page.
