Did you hear the huge news from Margo Tantau?

In case you missed it, we recently had some HUGE (and hugely exciting) news from one of our brilliant teachers, fabulous trend queen and creative director, Margo Tantau. Margo has now set up her own art agency, Tantau Studio – and not only has she already taken on some Make Art That Sells students for representation, but she’s actively looking for more! This means that when you take one of Margo’s classes, you’re getting your art directly in front of an agent who is looking for more artists to represent! Lilla Rogers says: “Our community has just gotten an incredible gift. Margo Tantau—my dear friend, a brilliant creative director, the founder of the popular Windowsills Chats podcast, and my co-teacher at Make Art That Sells—has founded a brand new illustration agency, Tantau Studio! With decades of experience in the home decor and licensing industry, she brings her wealth of expertise

How to make your art even more gorgeous

Want to know THREE things that will hugely amp up your art, make it even more gorgeous, and massively affect how much work you get, how interesting your career is and how much money you earn? As an art agent of 30 years, I’ll spill the beans. (1) Color! Spend 30 days with art agent and illustrator Lilla exploring glorious color, and create new palettes and fabulous portfolio art in Color Quest 2025. Color is queen! The palette that you choose for your art can have an enormous influence on its mood, appearance and appeal. Color is one of first ways an art agent or art director responds to your art.

A thought for today

Today is Thanksgiving in the US, so today in particular I want to thank you for being part of our global community. I’m grateful to have the honor of being your instructor. You are lucky that you get to have art as your focus. In times of difficulty, it can be a soothing presence and a radical act. Being able to focus on something that is beautiful and positive is a huge source of comfort, and that’s why we’re delighted that, once a year, we can offer our life-changing courses at a huge discount, to make them as accessible as possible to artists everywhere. Although I am an instructor who teaches art and art business, what I’m really teaching is to help you find your voice and put it out to the world, because that is a radical act. Stay radical, MATSies. With love and gratitude,
