August Wallpapers

Happy August Reader

I'm so excited to share what I've been up to! This month has been a whirlwind of change and new beginnings. First off, I'm thrilled to announce a big change for my brand – I've officially rebranded! I can't wait to share the details with you below!

On the creative front, I've been busy dreaming up festive designs for the upcoming holiday season. Get ready for a sneak peek at my new Christmas card collection! Plus, I've got some exciting licensing news to share with you.

And to help you escape the summer heat, I've created some new wallpapers featuring palm trees and ocean waves. They're the perfect way to bring a little sunshine to your day.

Let's dive in!

STUDIO NEWS

Fresh Start, Fresh Name: Introducing…

I'm bursting with excitement to share some big news! After a lot of thought (like years in the making), I've decided to rebrand my business to Tawn Moore. It feels like a natural evolution, putting my name front and center. I want my brand to truly reflect who I am as an artist and where my creativity is taking me. There's something timeless and authentic about using my own name too, something "Tawnart" never quite captured.

It's more than just a new name and logo, though! It represents the growth I've experienced both personally and artistically, and the evolution of my vision and my commitment to creating art that resonates deeply with me, and hopefully, with you too!

I'm so eager to share this new chapter with all of you. Thank you for being a part of my journey so far, and for your continued support as I embark on this exciting new phase!

Two More Cards Hit the Shelves!

I'm over the moon to share that I've signed two more greeting card licenses this past July! They should hit stores early next year. It's an amazing feeling to know that my artwork resonates with companies enough for them to choose it for their products. I'm feeling super grateful and excited about my progress so far this year.

Focusing on greeting cards as my main artistic focus is starting to pay off. It's been an exciting experiment, and I'm happy with the results so far. I'm looking forward to establishing more relationships with art directors and bringing more of my art to life.

If you know someone in the greeting card industry who might love my work, please don't hesitate to share my info! And if you're an art director looking for fresh, new designs, feel free to reach out directly. I'm always looking to connect with new people and explore new opportunities.

Agent Hunt Update: The Search Continues...

So, the agent hunt has taken a bit of a detour. I was really excited about one potential partnership, but unfortunately, things didn't pan out during the contract phase. It’s a bummer, but hey, it happens!

Instead of getting discouraged, I’ve decided to take a step back and rethink my approach. I’m currently putting together a brand book to showcase my work in a fresh, new way. I’m hoping this will help me connect with an agent who’s truly excited about my work.

I’d love to hear from you if you’ve had success finding an art licensing agent. How did you go about it? Any tips or advice would be super helpful! I know I’m not alone in this journey, so let’s chat! And if you know any amazing agents who are looking for new talent, please give me a shout! I'd love to connect.

NEWSLETTER SURVEY

I’m always looking for ways to make my letters to you better. Your thoughts and opinions mean the world to me! I’d love to hear what you think. What do you love? What could be improved? And most importantly, what kind of stuff would you like to see more of?

To help me out, I put together a quick survey. But if surveys aren't your thing, feel free to hit reply and share your thoughts and ideas with me instead!

NEW ARTWORK

Christmas in July? I know, I know, it's still summer, but the Christmas spirit hit me hard this month! I couldn't resist starting on a few festive designs. I've got three mini Christmas collections in mind, and I've already finished the first one – a set of four greeting cards and a matching pattern. I went for a super bright and cheerful vibe, and I'm particularly loving the "Joy Peace Noel" card and the coordinating pattern. Can't wait to share more as I finish up the other collections!

LET'S WORK TOGETHER!

Are you looking to collaborate on a project or maybe you're interested in licensing my artwork? I'd love to hear from you!
