As commercial artists who create original artwork for the market, licensing artists like to know what the emerging, continuing and future trends are in the marketplace. Since it can take a year or more from some products to be available to purchase, we need to work far in advance and take into consideration how quickly the popular themes and colors may change, or stay the same. And even if artists intentionally choose not to regard the trends in their portfolio work, it is still helpful to understand what is going on in the world around us as things continue to shift and change all the time.

The ALSC Trends group has worked together to come up with some popular themes that we are seeing and expect to see more in int the coming year or two. As a benefit to the amazing Portfolio Artists and Art Directors on ArtLicensingShow.com, we have created a 16-page pdf outlining these various themes and links on where you can do more research on your own. You can visit the private group to get the full report here.
