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 :)
Kelly Shemansky
This is the first time we've working with a creative agency for artwork. Working with Lauren and IllustrationX was a smooth process, and I appreciate that they handle the details so the artists can focus on what they do best. This was more of an investment than our typical freelance engagements, and it was 1000% worth it.
Sara Kablack, Janitza
Illustration X was very easy to work with. Karen was extremely responsive and helpful and having direct contact with the artist helped streamline feedback and the design process. We'll work with Illustration X again!
Sierra Serafica, House of Current
a great experience so far and some more to come!

Charlene Epple, Eversana Intouch

Penny Newton, International Bar Association
IllustrationX have always been extremely helpful and very professional. A pleasure to work with.
Bridget Yabsley, Guernsey Post Ltd
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
Juliette is always a great help, and very good in a commissioning crisis!
Martin Colyer, The Critic Magazine
Well organised, friendly team committed to working together, very impressed and with the results and hardwork and creativity.
Jennifer Shakes
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.
Melvina Norried-Thomas, American Association of Colleges and Universities
Great talent and professionalism
Paula McEntee, Saoi Studio
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.
Jay Spenser, Words on Wings
Fantastic service - understanding and professional
Rob Scott, TLC Marketing
My experience with IllustrationX has been characterized by timely and efficient communication, professional expertise and help in defining my project as well as competence in its execution. I couldn’t have asked for more. I reccomend IllustrationX wholeheartedly and without reservations.
Leslie Lacin
My agent was super kind and responded in a timely manner. Seeing a copy of the agency's policies early on would be helpful.
