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.

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.

Will Steele, Usborne Publishing Ltd
When we first stumbled across Butcher Billy’s artwork, we knew he’d be a perfect fit for our comic book series Seven Dead Stars. The variant cover image he crafted blew our minds with the depth of detail and exceptionally expressive artistry. He was a joy to work and communicate with, and went above and beyond to make sure our project turned out amazing!
