Happy Thanksgiving! I'm Scott A. Shuford, one of the new Board members. I wanted to stop in and say thanks for being involved with CCAS! If you have any input or would like to be involved with anything in particular, please let me and Eric Jansen (Membership Coordinator for CCAS) know by contacting us both through the site. We'll be making several announcements in the coming weeks, so stay tuned. To see a bit more about me, check out my profile here on the site. I'm looking forward to getting to know you better.
Consider the words of C.S. Lewis:
"If there lurks in most modern minds the notion that to desire our own good and to earnestly hope for the enjoyment of it is a bad thing, I suggest that this notion has crept in from Kant and the Stoics and is no part of the Christian faith. Indeed, if we consider the unblushing promises of reward and the staggering nature of the rewards promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures, fooling around with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at sea. We are far too easily pleased."
There should be a list of licensing agents available at the licensingshow.com under attendees. In fact, everyone is listed there along with contact info. The key is taking the time to evaluate. If I were you, I'd consider going to the licensing show and checking out some agencies. Most of their interest will depend on where you are with your property and if they feel you are ready to really take that step toward licensing.
I subscribe to LICENSE magazine, but it seems that the industry (like any other) is closed until you know someone or get in by consistant plugging & networking.
KIDZ OF THE KING is already on its' way license-wise, because I was blessed with an animation deal. I know I'll be in the "business" once the cartoon is released (3-6 months from now), but I have another property (basketball themed) that I would like to promote. Should I go after a licensing agent, and if so, where ARE they?
Thanks my friend. Glad you enjoyed my work. I really appreciate that.
To answer your question, I do not currently represent other properties, however I often consult and help out others who are trying to enter the license arena. So, please feel free to ask away and I'd be happy to assist you in any way I can.
The 'Spirituality in Comics' Panel from San Diego Comic-Con 2011
In comics, movies, and even Broadway musicals like “The Book Of Mormon”, spiritual themed work seems to be unexpectedly coming from the least religious of sources.
