E83: From Paint to Pixels: How Traditional Art and Digital Tools Work Together in Licensing

Send us your feedbackIn this solo episode, Delores explores the false divide between paint and pixels. She invites us into her studio, sharing memories of constructing mixed-media pieces by hand and her early experiments with collage, art journals and sculpture. As a teacher, she adopted digital tools like Illustrator and Photoshop to expand her creative possibilities without abandoning her roots. Delores recalls her first licensing contract with Russ (the teddy bear people), how working with a wall-art agent pushed her to build collections, and why her traditional background still informs every digital brush stroke. Throughout, she reassures artists that licensing doesn’t require slick perfection—buyers are drawn to work that feels warm, human and handmade.Ready to blend your own paint and pixels? Give this episode a listen and, if you enjoy it, please share with a creative friend or support the show! 🎧Support the show Don't miss an episode—subscribe to The Creative JuggleJoy Podcast!
