MHS unveils Surtex and Vegas plans

Art agency will introduce brace of new artists at upcoming US trade shows.

Art specialist MHS Licensing will be introducing two new artists at next month’s Surtex show and June’s Licensing Expo.

The company will be highlighting freelance illustrator Darren Gygi, who runs his own production company specialising in high-end canvas wrap wall décor.

His portfolio of artwork is now available to licence for additional home décor products, as well as giftables, stationery, kitchen textiles, bedding and bath.

Meanwhile, UK-based artist Rebecca Stoner has worked with a wide variety of patterns, illustrations and artwork throughout her career, creating products including fabric, homewares, stationery and laser cut metal.

Her library of artwork lends itself to products ranging from stationery and giftables through to wall coverings and home décor, according to MHS.

“Both Darren and Rebecca have extensive success and experience in their respective fields, but they are an untapped resource in licensing,” said Marty Segelbaum, president of MHS Licensing.

“They each represent big opportunities for our manufacturing partners.”

In addition, MHS will also be introducing new images from its existing artists at both shows.
