Why toys and games? The toys and games market (and the children’s books market) is HUGE right now, and if you’ve got children and you’ve turned to internet shopping to get you all through the past 18 months, or you’ve been trying to get them away from screens for a while, or you’ve been shopping for props for home schooling, you’ll know exactly why.
In fact, in the first six months of 2020, toy sales were up actually 16%, when usually you’d expect them to fall 3-4% after the holidays. Art directors need your gorgeous art and your brilliant kooky ideas and inventions right now. Read more about why toys and games are the perfect art market for 2021 here.

Plus, what could be more fun than creating toys and games for a living? Seeing your concept brought to life, reading rave reviews, and getting to play your very own game with your own friends and family. It doesn’t get much better than that.
And finally, if you’ve already got a ton of kid-friendly art, maybe from editorial work or children’s book illustration, personal pieces or sketchbook doodles, then toys and games are a wonderful way to leverage art you already have. Book your place here.
