Sandra Marques, HAYMARKET Media Group
"Luiza is by far the best artist I have ever worked with. She is an excellent communicator, works very fast, and is extremely talented. We are very pleased with all the work she completed for our speed card game, Escape Critters. She proved to be worth every penny of our investment! She was such a pleasure to work with that I asked how I could leave this review for her and was never solicited to write it. If you are debating between two artists artists to hire, stop now, and pick Luiza!"

We had a great experience with Karen and IllustrationX. We would recommend it fully to anyone looking for high quality illustrators.
Sophia Da Silva, Spiritual Arts Institute
IllustrationX and AnimationX picked me up as a raw talent and have helped instil a deep understanding of the visual communication industry and client needs whilst leaving my creativity unbridled. A friendlier, more accommodating and professional agency you'll struggle to find. I'm thrilled to be signed to the best in the world.
Ben Tallon @ illustration
Illustration X was very easy to work with. Karen was extremely responsive and helpful and having direct contact with the artist helped streamline feedback and the design process. We'll work with Illustration X again!

Such a great assortment of illustrators from all over the world! And a great team of reps right across the globe! ‘IllustrationX’ is truly international. The website is always fresh and informative. I really like the Scrapbooks. They are wonderful. For me, as an illustrator in the ‘team’ I can really focus on being creative and leave all the other business in their safe hands. From Stacey in the US to Amary in China it has always been a great delight to work with ‘IllustrationX’.

Lauren and IllustrationX are very easy to work with and make the process seamless. Absolutely no complaints.
Communication and timelines were perfect.
Alex Tabrizi, Next Step Management
Nina is very professional and helpful. She liaised with our artist to produce the result we were after. A pleasure to work with you. Thanks
Tamara Byrnes, Lovatts Media
Working with IllustrationX and AnimationX just gets better and better - and I've been with them for over 20 years so I should know! The team themselves are the perfect balance of professionalism and friendliness and their experience shines through in every aspect of working with them. They work extremely hard at making sure that both clients and illustrators are happy.
I feel my own work and creativity have been able to grow and flourish thanks to the many high-calibre clients and varied briefs they have secured for me. They keep me consistently very busy with lovely work - sometimes too much! But they definitely take the headache out of it with their excellent support and working practices.
I am proud to be a part of the catalogue of talented, pleasant and enthusiastic artists they attract. For me, Illustration is more than just an agency, it's a connection to the best (and nicest!) people in the industry, right around the world.
Gail Armstrong @ illustration
a great experience so far and some more to come!
James Jackson, Voikukka Ltd
"I approached Svetlana with a complex set of goals and requirements for a musical album cover. She listened carefully to all my requests and produced a design that perfectly combined all of the desired elements. In the process, she created a beautiful work of art. It was a pleasure to communicate with Svetlana throughout the project: she responded quickly to my comments and questions and kept me informed about the work as it progressed. The project was completed ahead of schedule, with every detail in its ideal place."
Svetlana Molodchenko @ illustration
Fantastic service - understanding and professional

Lauren went above and beyond to find an artist for my event. She promptly and thoroughly answered all of my questions to make sure I found an artist whose style fit my "vision" and budget :)
Kelly Shemansky
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

Lovely to work with both of you and Linda is very talented!
Emma Holtham, Outernet London
The level of talent is amazing and working with Karen is always such a pleasure!
Marcella Accardi-Sanders, Meredith Operations Corporation DBA The Foundry
I have grown with the agency for over 12yrs and it has to be said the whole experience has been a professional and pleasurable one. From the early days when I first secured representation, they were very tolerant as they nurtured me through the commission process and were always fighting my corner. This patience, personable and professional approach has been maintained throughout my time with the agency. I have always found them reliable, honest and enthusiastic about each commission I have been involved with. And at the risk of sounding a little gorgonzola – the team has become more of a family than just a mere artist/agent relationship.
Stuart Holmes @ illustration
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.
Barbara Moore, Llewellyn Worldwide

Graham Jones, Hearst Magazines UK

Illustration has given me the chance to work with all ends of the illustration world and given me lots of experience in many different areas! Fantastic Team!

Will Steele, Usborne Publishing Ltd
I have had the pleasure of working with IllustrationX and AnimationX for several years now, and it's been a joy! Always friendly and professional, they have provided me with great work and clientele, from the UK and USA especially. I feel as though I'm in good hands!
Lauren Mortimer Pencils @ illustration
The whole team is highly professional and extremely friendly, which is a great bonus. They are a pleasure to work with as they are swift with communication, and provide informative briefs and regular promotional support. I have already worked on some dream commissions that I couldn't have achieved without the team. It's an honour to be represented by IllustrationX and AnimationX and be amongst the best illustrators.
Chrissy Lau @ illustration
Having often heard of difficult stories from many illustrators and artists on how their careers were partly formed by bad experiences with various agencies, I feel very lucky and privileged that Consulting Agent Sarah Beetson immediately saw the potential in my work from a handful of images and to have IllustrationX's encouragement and support to confidently develop as a freelance artist. The agency is unique in that they have a personal approach to each artist, providing great guidance whilst also being very professional and fair in liaising with clients on our behalf. The international team’s expertise and innovative manner uphold the agency’s leading position and I couldn’t have found a better home.
Montana Forbes @ illustration
A very talented, creative, timely group to work with. Awesome experience and great end results.

Paul Breckenridge, Future Plc
I joined IllustrationX and AnimationX in 2011 and couldn’t be happier. All of the agents and staff are fantastic and great to work with. They’ve given me the opportunity to work with clients all over the world, most of which I don’t think I would have had the chance to on my own. I’m very honored to be a member of the IllustrationX family and look forward to working with them in the years to come.

Karen Kaller is always joy to work with!
