The agency unites their work with the art licensing needs of respected companies large and small, matching art with product and creating unique solutions for clients in industries such as apparel, social expression, publishing, gift and toys. As a special bonus, Bella Pilar and Jenn Playford will be attending SURTEX and participating in promotions each day of the show.
