We are on our second project using IllustrationX artists. The rep, Lauren, has been very professional and helpful. The artists have also been professional, punctual, and great about edits and changes. The work is top notch.

I love working with my rep Karen Kaller. I always feel that she will go out of her way to help me connect with the right illustrator for the job.
Gigi Ortwein, SagaCity Media
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.

a great experience so far and some more to come!

Daniel Gates, 62Above
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.

We had a great experience with Karen and IllustrationX. We would recommend it fully to anyone looking for high quality illustrators.

Juliette was extremely helpful and made the process of contacting the illustrator I had chosen easy. I would highly recommend Illustration X to anyone looking for an illustrator. I have been in contact with the illustrator Turine Tran. I chose her work because it is beautiful. It trandports you to a magical world. I know she will bring my story to life. I am really looking forward to working with her. Annette Gray
