Art Ask Agency has secured a licensing collaboration with Q Workshop on behalf of the gothic fantasy artist, Anne Stokes.
The new partnership brings Anne Stokes’ mystical imagery to tabletop gaming with an exclusive line of dice trays, dice pouches and gaming dice.
Inspired by some of the artists’ most popular illustrations, the products will feature a range of fantasy imagery such as dragons, wolves, fairies and dark angels.
“This new partnership with Q Workshop is a wonderful expansion of Anne’s brand into the world of tabletop gaming,” said Art Ask Agency owner, Maria Strid. “The products are beautiful and functional, and they will resonate deeply with fantasy fans who want to bring Anne’s world to the gaming table.”
Stokes has taken an active role in the creative process for the collaboration by personally contributing to the design of each piece so it accurately reflects her artistic vision.
“We’re so excited about this collaboration—really, it’s been such a joy,” said Q Workshop CEO, Magdalena Roehr. “Working with Anne, who’s not only incredibly talented but also wonderfully versatile, has been a truly inspiring experience. Her beautiful and varied illustrations feel like they were made to match our dice sets, and now they have the perfect companions in the form of trays and pouches. Honestly, I wouldn’t be surprised if this sparks some completely new sets too,” added Roehr. “We’re hopeful this is just the beginning of a fun, creative journey we’ll keep building together.”
The licensed dice accessories will debut through Q Workshop’s website and select retailers worldwide this spring, followed by the dice themselves shortly after.
