Testimonials

Jac and the Illustration X team have been fantastic. I have commissioned several illustrators and always been very pleased with the results. Jac is very knowledgeable about all the illustrators and always quick to respond and help. Thank you
Paul Breckenridge, Future Plc
A very talented, creative, timely group to work with. Awesome experience and great end results.
Nicole Breunig, Egg Innovations, LLC
Love the responsiveness and support!
Scott Pansky
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
Lauren went above and beyond to find an artist for my event. She promptly and thoroughly answered all of my questions to make sure I found an artist whose style fit my "vision" and budget :)

When I needed an artist for two children's chapter mysteries, I did a quick Google search and selected your site first. It's been perhaps the quickest, best, and luckiest internet search I've ever made.

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.
