2019 is year of growth for Jehane

Illustration agency celebrating further licensing deals heading into 2020.

Illustration agency Jehane is celebrating the end of a strong 2019, which it is hoping to emulate in 2020 with a number of new deals.

First up for the agency – which is headed up by artist and business manager, Jehane Boden Spiers – in the new year are two exclusive stationery ranges with UK partner, Museums & Galleries.

Alphabets by Ernest Michael Dinkel sees the very first licensing deal for this heritage art brand. The artist’s work encompassed watercolour and oil painting, graphic and mural design, glass engraving and lettering. The range has been adapted from a unique archive of Ernest’s hand-drawn alphabets.

The MGML range will cover all stationery products with its lead design Kingfisher (pictured) paving the way for future design expansions.

Meanwhile, Wild Press by Sussex-based artist Helen Ahpornsiri is a unique range of stationery also launching in January, exclusive to MGML. Helen’s images are made by hundreds of leaves and flowers with traditional flower-pressing methods.

Her lead design – entitled Pteridomania – is the featured illustration for the 2020 cover of the Museums & Galleries catalogue.

Meanwhile, Jehane is continuing to develop its niche in children’s book publishing.

Published by Zahori Books, foreign rights for Pets & their Famous Humans has already sold into eight languages. Illustrated by leading agency talent, Katherine Quinn, calendar rights have been snapped up by teNeues (Germany), while publisher Ice House Books (UK) will be announcing its own licence relating to the property in 2020.

Lastly, one of the agency’s books – The House That Cleaned Itself: The True Story of Frances Gabe’s (Mostly) Marvellous Inventions – has also been awarded as one of the Best Stem Books for 2020 by the NSTA (National Science and Teachers Association) and CBC (Children’s Book Council).
