We’re going to Surtex in NYC at Javitz Center May 18 – 20 to show over 1,000 new images to the licensing community. We hope to sell and license lots of work like last year. We’ll be meeting with great folks from Chronicle, teNeues, Land of Nod, Colorbok, Galison, and others. It’s a thrill for us to present our artists’ work to some of the great tastemakers of our time. So, of course, we need to have fab tool belts to hold all our stuff as we work our booths. I’ve sewn one for each of the Lilla Rogers Studio staff who will be in attendance; that’s Ashley, Susan, Julia, and me. See how I have art buttons on here? We’ll be giving these away. That’s Mike Lowery’s pirate pin.

Susy created this wonderful series on linen based on flowers from her gardens. I know these will get scooped up superfast for licensing. I can picture them on table linens, ceramic dinnerware, fabric, wall art. Did I leave anything major out? Her color combinations are fresh. How about that deep veridian green with the pale, faded lavender on the FRITTILARIA piece? I’m going to show you the matching patterns she did for this series at some point soon.
