Jigsaw Puzzles Artist Profiles

Do you pay attention to who the Artist is when you buy your jigsaw puzzles?

I'll admit the Artist's name is usually not first and foremost for most of the ones I have purchased.

But as my jigsaw puzzle hobby grew I have learned a lot about the Artist's who do have their creativity sold in the form of puzzle products.

I get the feeling from many Group members that Artists play a significant role in their hobby selection. Some have even gathered Artists as a specific section of their collection (a little rhyme there .....heehee). I have done the same. Here are some of my favorite jigsaw puzzle Artists; 

Check out these little tid-bits I have discovered about Artist's jigsaw puzzles.

  1. There is the traditional Artist with paint and brushes displaying some very historical scenes. 
  2. There is the digital Artist using computers to create some of the most stunning images. 
  3. There is the photographer Artist capturing the world in it's finest second! 
  4. There is the project Artist who develops or produces physical objects or items in the form of jigsaw puzzles pieces and shapes.
  5. Some Artist's will manufacture their own merchandise then market it for sale.
  6. Some Artist's will sell their images to jigsaw puzzle companies for a certain period of time also known as licensing (say 3-4 years). That is how you can see the same image produced by two different jigsaw puzzle companies.
  7. Manufacturing companies will pay a percentage of sales to the Artist. 

For the purpose of this section, I have divided the Artist's jigsaw puzzles into the four Categories with links to the individual articles.
