Why not take orders for 3-D logos and such ... add-on graphics sets that people can use as they wish on their sites .... and start an affiliate program paying your affiliates like 25% of what they sell?
Let your affiliates be your sales force, letting you focus on what you are good at - which is CREATING the artwork!

I think it is exactly the opposite. He is good at marketing himself and his products. The problem is that his work is dated and he needs an overhaul in inventory. He even said himself he hasn't done anything new in years. Because of how quickly technology changes, the bar in this niche gets raised every 6 months and if you dont adapt and stay on top of it you get quickly passed by.
He should be focusing on selling other people's work and be a broker. There are so many people in Asia with amazing work. He could broker deals between them and US clients. While he is doing this, he can explore if he has the abilities and skill to compete with the other people that are making this type of content. If not, maybe his role is more of middle man since he knows people who want to buy this type of content.
