Turbo charge your marketing efforts
We have one of the best illustration portfolio systems on the internet today, and we also directly market your work to potential clients via physical mail packs in the real world! Sign up now!
Let us promote you
We represent the interests of over 400 illustrators, animators and artists and we are quickly becoming one of the first places clients turn to when they are looking for someone to fulfil their illustration or animation needs. We are not an agency… which means we take 0% commission on any jobs we find you! What we do is network and connect you with potential employers and once you’re connected with a client, that client is yours.
International coverage
We are based in the UK, but we promote illustrators globally, including the USA, Canada, South America, the UK, Ireland, Europe and the Asia-Pacific region. As far as the promotion of our illustrators is concerned we do not consider borders to be a barrier. In today’s digital world with all the wonders of the internet, we no longer see location as an issue and neither should you.
Illustration is our passion and we love everything associated with it. We want to see our illustrators make the most of the service we run and are constantly pushing the envelope to make things better!
Our mail packs are sent out to several thousand clients and all members are free to participate.

“I’m very impressed with this website! Our agency is on several illustration portfolio websites, but none have given us as many job opportunities as hire an illustrator so far. I’m really amazed at how quickly this website has caught on and we are very glad we decided to sign up. I love the international exposure we receive from hire an illustrator, that some of the other portfolio websites don’t seem to offer.“ – Anna Goodson (Rep)
