Aaron Ryan, Rocket Leisure Monument Ltd
Karen was very open to phone calls and walking me through everything clearly and easily.
Leigh Crawshaw, Crawshaw Books
I appreciate how accommodating and easy it was to work with IllustrationX. They helped me to find an artist that fit my budget and style of project. Moreover, I was happy for a means of finding an artist that is trustworthy and risk-free, after spending many hours googling and researching sites that were risky. They were also immediately responsive when other sites never responded. They matched me with Shiane who is a delight to work with, even when I changed projects on her last minute. Her artistic background of storytelling is perfect for the children's product I am making. We've just started the project but with Shiane's level of professionalism and attention to detail, I expect it will be a smooth process.
Darcie Cobos, Egglo Entertainment, LLC
A very talented, creative, timely group to work with. Awesome experience and great end results.

Briana is spectacular. Her attention to detail, organization, patience, and quick response have made choosing an illustrator a clear process. She was amazing at guiding me through all the options and what was best according to what our organization is looking for and the constraints of our budget. I hope we are fortunate enough to work with her again in the future.

Penny Newton, International Bar Association
When we first stumbled across Butcher Billy’s artwork, we knew he’d be a perfect fit for our comic book series Seven Dead Stars. The variant cover image he crafted blew our minds with the depth of detail and exceptionally expressive artistry. He was a joy to work and communicate with, and went above and beyond to make sure our project turned out amazing!
