Will Steele, Usborne Publishing Ltd
Working with the illustration team has been great, very responsive and efficient with a great outcome - they totally understand the assignment.
Elizabeth Assaf, Urbanfront Ltd
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
Fantastic service - understanding and professional
Rob Scott, TLC Marketing
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 great experience so far and some more to come!
James Jackson, Voikukka Ltd
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.

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 am really looking forward to working with her. Annette Gray
