# IllustrationX > Founded in London in 1929. Today, one of the world's leading illustration agencies, with 15 agents across four continents and over 200 of the world's most distinctive illustrators on our books. We have spent nearly a century doing one thing: putting the right illustrator in front of the right brief. Our agents work from London, New York, Paris, Hamburg, Shanghai, Sydney, and Rio de Janeiro. Our artists work from everywhere, from Sao Paulo to Mumbai, Berlin to Melbourne, Lagos to Brooklyn. That distinction matters: most agencies claiming "global reach" operate from a single location. We don't. Our illustrators have created work for Manchester United, for National Geographic, and for brands on every continent, and the clients who commission them rate our agents and our artists, on average, 96.19%, a number they have given us consistently, year after year. ## About the Agency - [Our Story](https://www.illustrationx.com/about): Founded in London in 1929; how the agency began and how it became one of the world's leading illustration agencies. - [Our Values](https://www.illustrationx.com/our-values): What we stand for and how we work with clients and artists. - [How We Commission](https://www.illustrationx.com/commissioning): The process from brief to delivery. - [Talk to an Agent](https://www.illustrationx.com/contact/us): Direct lines to our agents across four continents. ## The Roster - [Every Illustrator We Represent](https://www.illustrationx.com/illustrators): All 200+ artists, searchable by style, medium, and region. - [Browse by Style](https://www.illustrationx.com/styles): Every illustration style we represent, from comic and editorial to fashion, CGI, and character design. - [Editorial Illustration](https://www.illustrationx.com/styles/editorial): For the world's leading newspapers, magazines, and digital titles. - [Advertising and Brand](https://www.illustrationx.com/styles/advertising): Campaign-proven illustrators for global and challenger brands. - [Children's Book Illustration](https://www.illustrationx.com/kidsbooks): Picture books, middle grade, young adult. - [Character Design](https://www.illustrationx.com/styles/character-design): Character, mascot, and world-building work. - [Comic Style](https://www.illustrationx.com/styles/comic): One of the most-requested categories on our site. - [Live Event Drawing](https://www.illustrationx.com/styles/live-event-drawing): Live illustrators for events, conferences, and launches. - [Animators](https://www.illustrationx.com/animators): AnimationX roster — 2D, 3D, CGI, motion graphics, and explainer animation. ## For Illustrators - [Artist Applications](https://www.illustrationx.com/applications): For illustrators seeking representation with IllustrationX. ## Optional - [News and Artist Features](https://www.illustrationx.com/news): Industry writing, artist interviews, and trend reports. - [Full Site Index](https://www.illustrationx.com/sitemap_index.xml): Complete URL inventory across all locales.
