I was honored to take part in the Indian Island Winery Wine Fest Celebration in Janesville, Minnesota, this month. I designed the art for all of the wine bottles, including their award winning wines! The art was also used on the entrance sign as you approach the winery. Take a look at:IndianIslandwinery.com.

Come and join Jim Hansel at the Indian Island Winery Summer 2011 Wine Fest!

Bring all of your Jim Hansel prints or purchase one at the winery, and get them personally signed by the artist himself from 2-5pm on Saturday, August 13!! Those of you who are not aware, Jim Hansel is an amazing artist. "At the young age of 12, he was diagnosed with a condition called Stargardts. The eye condition left him legally blind. In spite of his limited vision, he pursued his passion for painting with the use of low vision devices and has become one of the most collected wildlife and nature artists in the United States and Canada. As a result of his partial loss of vision, Jim says, "I hope to serve as an inspiration to the American Spirit in overcoming my disability and pursuing my passion for art."

I just returned from the Licensing International Expo held at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas. It's one of my annual opportunities to mingle with the art world's brand and property marketplace and show off my new wildlife and nature images for use on products throughout the world. I had the pleasure of meeting with some of the top licensing companies in the world. I even had a chance to eat at one of the Top Chef Masters restaurants while I was in Vegas!

You can view all of Jim Hansel art and my latest fine art prints and paintings at: www.JimHanselart.com.

Here's some background on the show...For more than 30 years Licensing International Expo has been the meeting place for the biggest names and the hottest properties in the industry. Attendees get a preview of the newest licensing and merchandising programs that will generate excitement and buying behavior among consumers. Licensing International Expo is the only event in the world where attendees gain this competitive advantage.

So excited that Jim Hansel Editions is represented at the West Coast Art & Frame Show 2011! Held at the Las Vegas Hilton, from January 24-26th, the show is sponsored by Picture Framing Magazine.

I recently exhibited at a big licensing show in New York called Surtex. It was my first time in New York! I really could feel the energy and creativity all around me! It was an incredible business-building opportunity for me and Jim Hansel Editions in the art & design world...from exciting exhibits and networking events, to an information-packed conference program. After the first day my wife and I and our licensing department attended a fun-filled opening night party in Battery Park with the Statue of Liberty as a back drop…it was an amazing night!

I was among hundreds of designers from around the world. Selling and Licensing original art and design is a big division of Jim Hansel Editions. I had the opportunity to market my collection to manufacturers of products for home, stationery, giftware, puzzles, toys, publishing, and more. I’m happy to say that there will be many products coming out in the future with a number of my images on them! Stay tuned!
