Tennessee Loveless's passion for licensing and collaboration began at Disney Consumer Products, where he worked as a licensing associate in the Food, Health, and Beauty division in Glendale, California. Learning the foundations of licensing while simultaneously creating artwork for Disney sparked a maelstrom of ideas that swirled beyond the limits and dimensions of traditional fine art. That passion for art and licensing continues to show in his growing roster of clients.

 

In apparel, Loveless has designed for Speedo USA for the 2016 Summer Olympics, for ThreeGun in Asia, whose logo changed to his design for NY Fashion Week, and for Casio, in collaboration with the SKYNET property Teddy, for their "Chinatown" collection. His work has also lent itself to meaningful causes, including the Getting to Zero campaign to help end the spread of HIV and a World Wildlife Fund promotion for the cover of Elle China. Beyond apparel and advocacy, he brought his aesthetic to furniture with Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams for their 30th anniversary collection, and to the digital space as the artist for Apple's accessibility campaign, with additional work appearing in commercials and interactive internet campaigns for CAPITASTAR in China.

 

Loveless's influence extends into publishing as well: he was the subject of The Art of Tennessee Loveless, written by Dave Bassert about his 10x10x10 Mickey Mouse Collection, and was a featured artist in From Walt to the World, published in conjunction with The Walt Disney Family Museum.
