Icon Shoes and My Cowgirl Art - The Perfect Match

Introducing the " 'Cowgirl' Cowboy-Mule " from Icon Shoes, featuring MY artwork! Slip your feet into these little gems, and you're an instant cowgirl ... I am now licensed with Icon Shoes, and I couldn't have asked for a better partnership. To have my cowgirl art featured on this company's products is a dream come true.Launched in 2009, Icon has become a fashion trendsetter in high end shoes and accessories. The company employs a permanent printing process of bonding images to high grain leather. They license the use of artwork "from up-and-coming artists, as well as masters like Monet, Van Gogh, and KIimt" to create high end women's accessories known for comfort and style. Icon shoes are collected by art and shoe lovers - even celebrities - the world over.Icon is a very "artist friendly" company, and I'm highly impressed with their knowledge and expertise. Icon also features licensed artists on its website - simply go here and click on "Deb Trotter" for a link to my Bio.The first set of Icon Shoes and accessories featuring 'Deb Trotter' artwork is launching right now, May 2009, and includes the mule pictured above - as well as this fabulous matching "Cowgirl" 3 compartment tote ... Icon will continue to introduce new "Cowgirl" products in June, July, and August 2009. Simply check the Icon website or visit my blog for future information.Before I ride off into the sunset (or the snow, which is promised later today), I'll leave you with this suggestion: If you're frustrated with all the hard work that goes into promoting yourself, like maintaining and designing your website, marketing, blogging, submitting your work to art shows and publishers - not to mention learning new techniques and consistently striving for the best work you can create - don't give up! All that commitment and persistence DOES pay off. And one day, maybe out of the blue, someone - the perfect someone - WILL notice.Count on it, pardner.Have a great weekend - This cowgirl is off to practice some new Photoshop techniques.Happy Trails!
