Advocate were delighted to collaborate with Simon de Pinna on his great project The Town and Country Gallery. The Town and Country Gallery provide fine art prints for holiday rentals, and you can now see and order from their new collection of work through their Spring 2013 catalogue! The interactive version of this brochure, which is available here, is organised by theme but is also location specific. So you can rifle through the pages to find a piece of artwork that suits where you’re vacationing perfectly, whether it’s the seaside, in the heart of London, or deep in the countryside.
We’re particularly proud of this joint venture, as a large number of our fantastic art licensing and art for posters artists, as well as some of our photographers, are featured and their work available to buy. Not only that, but our fab in-house design team worked hard to put together and produce the catalogue. It looks pretty amazing, if we do say so ourselves, so a big thank you to Advocate‘s Lauren, Lucas and the rest of the design team for all their hard work!
The artists featured below are James Rowland and the Pope Twins; to see more of their work, please click on their names above or visit their online portfolios on our website. You can see many more of our artists’ images throughout the pages of The Town and Country Gallery, and for even more of their work take a browse through the art licensing, photography, and art for posters folios on our website.

Sound the trumpets! It’s St. George’s Day! Today’s a great day to be English (and British of course). Here at Advocate we’ve come over all patriotic and have pulled up some of the most English-centric images we can find from some of our lovely art licensing illustrators; flags, tea, fish and chips, black cabs, and Remembrance Day poppies. We’ve even found an Old English sheepdog by Simon Mendez!
The works of art below are by Yunhee Park, Jeannine Rundle, James Rowland, Katy Heaser, Simon Mendez, Emma Davis, Ileana Oakley, and Uwe Merkel. To see more artwork for art licensing or any other areas by these artists, click on their names above or visit their online portfolios on our website.

As fashion and art licensing begin to merge more and more, Advocate, as an image licensing company, appreciates the benefits of staying in touch with fashion and trend forecasts, particularly when it comes to colour! One of our illustrators, Janes Heyes, spotted this Louis Vuitton advert and sent it in to us. Here at Advocate Art we think that they have got the colours spot on for one of the summer 2012 palettes. We think the mixture of green, red and pink is gorgeous. Open this image in adobe kuler to play with the palette for yourself!
To see more of Jane’s work visit her portfolio on our website by clicking here.

Advocate Art are excited to let you know that an interview with agent Hannah, about future trends, was featured in the Art and Design Licensing Sourcebook for summer 2012. Also featured on the page is one of Hannah’s beautiful mood boards which are used to communicate Advocate’s ideas to artists and potential clients. Read to see what Hannah has to say about ‘future fashions’ or visit the sourcebook website to download the book.
Advocate Art
Advocate is always on the hunt for new trends and regularly turns predictions into mood boards to share with artists and clients.
Past Meets Present
“Two themes crop up here: a combination of traditional crafting techniques (appliqué, cross-stitch, knitting etc.) are given a modern digital look with a 1950s’ colour palette; and an Edwardian take which combines traditional botanical etchings with a modern colour palette of teal, muted mauve and lemon yellow.”
Design Classics
“Taking inspirations from mid-20th century design icons such as typewriters, telephones and classic movie posters, this colour palette is bold and masculine”
Holiday Time
‘The final trend we’re expecting to see a lot of in the coming months, this combines bright, bold prints with tropical icons such as parrots, palm trees and pineapples. We are also seeing a resurgence of nautical-themed icons such as anchors and retro sailor tattoos, tying in nicely with British seaside nostalgia. “
