Kyla, Focus On the Family
Stacey was tremendously helpful in putting me in touch with the illustrator of my dreams.
Amy Hart, AMY HART STUDIOS
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.

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

James Jackson, Voikukka Ltd
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

Sophia Da Silva, Spiritual Arts Institute
They are one of my go-to agencies because they have such a diverse group of emerging and established talent for such a wide variety of audiences
Patrick Greenish, Highlights
Yes absolutely
Steve Sevivas
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
