“" I asked you to design a fridge magnet recently and after a brief initial meeting, I engaged your services. What I wanted was not simple in idea and I, as with almost all of your clients I should imagine,wanted as much information portrayed in as little space as possible, within budget!
We had a meeting and I explained my ideas to you for the fridge magnet which were just ideas and not firm on appearance.
You listened and applied your creative talent to produce the most amazing design.
Whereas I am and was most impressed with the outcome, the most impressive thing to me is the abilit”

“I approached Mike Nash to produce the cover art for my novel, having already considered a number of other artists. Mike’s fantasy paintings stood out on account of his innovative compositions and consummate ability to generate atmosphere and realism through combinations of detail, colour and lighting. Throughout the project, Mike kept in close contact and regularly updated me on his progress. He was meticulous in his research and studied relevant scenes from the book in order to elicit characterisation and style. The preliminary sketches were astounding, far exceeding my expectations.

“As I'm based in Australia, I've never even met Katy who has already produced one short animation for our company, with two more on the way. To have someone that professional, enthusiastic and motivated that we've been able to complete a project just via email is amazing. Her artistic direction has been a great attribute to the production and her drawing styles and initiative are fantastic. She's been a pleasure to work with and I wouldn't hesitate in recommending her to anyone else looking for an animator.”

“I found Wylie to be not only exceedingly professional but very thorough and well organized. At some points during the project I had some questions and concerns to which she addressed each and every one. We had a constant flow of communication, which made the end result that much better.
When it came to her artistic ability, Wylie completely blew me away. Though I came to her with some ideas already at hand, she took those ideas and ran with them. The book cover came out better than I could have ever imagined.”

“Manuel is a terrific illustrator - but even more he is a fantastic collaborator. He shares in discussing a goal, or tackling a problem, and works with you to create a solution. The work he has done for me has been simply awesome.
With each update he sent to share progress and ask for feedback I felt like a kid at Christmas, getting a glimpse of his presents. I was so excited to see the completed work that I feared my over-anticipation would set my expectations too high. But that certainly didn't happen - when I saw the final image I was awe struck.
Manuel won't let you down.”

Her style, design, and color pallet is exactly what I was looking for. She has been very professional, responsive, and takes feedback graciously. She's happy to make the illustrations 100% perfect. I am so grateful that I was blessed with such an outstanding and gifted illustrator and that she magically brought my characters to life."

“I employed Graeme as the sole illustrator and designer on The Dangerous Book of Heroes. The quality of his work was excellent and he was great at understanding what we at HarperCollins needed, and at doing it quickly too. It was a complicated project, and the drawings needed to be historically accurate as well as engaging for the reader and Graeme was particularly good at paying attention to the details which were important to us and the author. The project was on a tight timescale and he rose to the challenge, producing everything in time and to budget, with great creativity, speed and care.”

“Jim is fantastic to work with. I had the pleasure of hiring Jim a few years ago to work with us on the Dixie Riddle Cups and Riddle Cups packaging for Georia-Pacific. Jim contributed to the creative process as well as creating the illustrations. Jim is extremely enthusiastic about his work, which is infectious. Jim met all of our deadlines, was easy to work with, and created memorable illustrations for the Riddle Cups that are still being used in the market today. We have hired Jim since to work with us on A&W internal signage, as well as additional Dixie projects.”

Thankfully we found Ian who had previous experience of designing creative web sites, animations and publicity work aimed at targeting youth markets.

He gave us a reason to appreciate him every week, for the entire span of the project.
The whole office was sorry when the job was done - sorry we didn't have any more of José's work to look forward to. He is at the top of our list for artists to work with in teen/YA lit.”

““What makes Thomas James such a singular talent — and such an important contributor to our pages — is his ability to find the perfect visual imagery to explain complicated concepts. We don’t call on Thomas for the simple stories; we call him to illustrate stories about political forces, power structures and emerging issues. And every time, he finds the perfect visual metaphor for ideas that take half a page of text to explain in words. He’s fast and talented and technically sharp at his craft, but what sets Thomas apart is his mind. Our pages are richer for having him in them.””
