Artist Collaborations | Nature Talks Back

Calling wildlife, landscape, and nature-inspired artists

Nature Talks Back was built from a love of the outdoors and a belief that the more connected people feel to nature, the more likely they are to protect it.

Now, we’re looking to grow that vision by collaborating with talented artists who see nature in their own unique way.

Whether you create wildlife illustrations, landscape paintings, botanical art, digital designs, block prints, watercolors, or something entirely your own, we would love to hear from you.

We believe the best outdoor brands are built by passionate people—not just one person. Nature Talks Back is growing, and one of our biggest goals is to create a home where talented artists can share their work, tell their stories, and inspire others to connect with the natural world.

Your Art. Your Story. Your Collection.

Our goal is not simply to purchase artwork and place it on a shirt.

We want to create artist-led collections that celebrate your individual style and introduce customers to the person and inspiration behind the work.

A collaboration may include:

  • A dedicated collection featuring your artwork
  • Your name and story presented alongside the collection
  • Links to your website or social media
  • Promotion through Nature Talks Back’s website and marketing channels
  • Compensation through an agreed-upon royalty, revenue-sharing, licensing, or other paid arrangement

The details would be discussed openly before any work begins so that both sides understand and feel comfortable with the partnership.

A Growing Brand with a Bigger Vision

Nature Talks Back is still an early-stage brand, and we may not yet have the upfront licensing budgets available to larger companies.

But we believe artists deserve to be compensated for their work.

We are not looking for free artwork.

Our goal is to create fair, transparent partnerships that allow artists to share in the success of the collections we build together. Depending on the artist and project, that could include royalties from each sale, revenue sharing, a licensing arrangement, or another structure that works for everyone involved.

We’re looking for artists who are excited by the opportunity to help shape something meaningful from the ground up—and to grow alongside a brand rooted in nature, creativity, and conservation.

Who We’re Looking For

We would especially love to connect with artists whose work is inspired by:

  • Wildlife and native species
  • Mountains, forests, rivers, and trails
  • National and state parks
  • Botanical life and wildflowers
  • Outdoor adventure
  • Conservation and environmental stewardship
  • The emotional connection people have with the natural world

You do not need a large social media following.

What matters most is the quality of your work, your individual point of view, and a genuine connection to the mission.

How the Process Could Work

Every collaboration will be different, but the process may look something like this:

1. Introduce yourself and share your work.
Send us your portfolio, website, social media account, or a few examples of the pieces that best represent your style.

2. We explore the fit.
If your work feels aligned with Nature Talks Back, we’ll begin a conversation about possible collection ideas, products, compensation, timing, and creative direction.

3. We agree on everything in writing.
Before artwork is used, both parties will approve the details, including payment terms, usage rights, responsibilities, and how the artist will be credited.

4. We build and share the collection.
Nature Talks Back will handle the online storefront, product setup, production coordination, fulfillment, and customer service. The artist will be featured as an important part of the collection’s story.

What You'll Always Receive

We believe every artist deserves to be treated with respect.

Every collaboration will include:

✔ A written agreement before any artwork is used

✔ Clear ownership and licensing terms

✔ Fair compensation through an agreed-upon structure

✔ Full artist credit on every collection

✔ Your story featured alongside your artwork

Even if we're not ready to collaborate today, we'd still love to connect.

Nature Talks Back is building a network of artists who share our passion for wildlife, adventure, and conservation. We'd love to follow your journey, celebrate your work, and explore opportunities as the brand continues to grow.

Submitting your work does not transfer ownership or grant Nature Talks Back permission to use it. No artwork will be reproduced, promoted, or sold without a separate written agreement approved by both parties.
