Peter Rabbit of course! Well… I suppose I’m more inspired by the story of Peter’s artist, Beatrix Potter. Talk about a woman who believed in her dream, bucked convention and held tight to her vision… overcoming many obstacles before becoming one of the most affluent women in Great Britain.
I just saw that the copyright owners of “Peter Rabbit” have hired new agents… do you get the Licensing.biz email news flashes? It’s a quick way to keep up with things going on in the industry.

If you are in need of an inspiring “artist who makes it” story – I recommend you watch the movie, “Miss Potter” based on the life of Beatrix Potter. I really enjoyed it and plan on loading the DVD player with it again tonight! Of course like most movies, it isn’t 100% accurate so assume you are getting the ‘brush strokes’ and not the facts as they would be presented in a court of law.

I LOVE Miss Potter! I cried and cried, but it was so heartwarming.
