Patrick Greenish, Highlights
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 and Karen Kaller have been wonderful to work with. It is such a pleasure to feel like we are a team, and that's how it has been. We love working with you.

Graham Jones, Hearst Magazines UK
Karen was very open to phone calls and walking me through everything clearly and easily.
Leigh Crawshaw, Crawshaw Books
Bob and Jac were amazing during the whole process. The illustrations came out exactly as we expected. Everything went really smooth and quick. Thank you very much!
Carla Santos, Core Creative 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
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
Easy connection to the perfect illustrator - definitely recommend
Jess Kaye, CHILLI IMA UK
Illustrator X has such a vast array of artists that cover all styles.
Penny Newton, International Bar Association
