When I began freelancing, I had no idea how to promote myself or reach out to art directors. Hai! took all the anxiety and guesswork out of the promo process. With Darren and Jane's help and personal touch, I'm finally getting the illustration jobs I always wanted. - Jennifer Albright

Hire an Illustrator is a great place to have a portfolio. It's good value for money and seems to be evolving quickly with lots of new features. It provides a place to release news and gain exposure and is the sole reason I landed one of my biggest jobs to date. As well as all that Darren and Jane are seemingly always available to ask questions and offer support. I'd be lost without it. - Albinal (Ian Ball)

I wanted to say how pleased I am with the service hai provides, and that I have already had one commission and one potential commission come my way since joining, and they have both said they found my work on the hai website. So I'm thrilled! I'm loving the site and I appreciate all the team members hard work in promoting us as illustrators! - Mohan Ballard

HireAnIllustrator.com has been an invaluable tool for my business. Having a portfolio of my work at this site has helped me reach a wider audience and has already more than paid for itself with the new commissions I've received. Thank you HAI for an awesome site and all the expanded services. The mail packs and printing service are a great example of forward thinking and one of the reasons HAI stands out from others. - Jeff Miracola

I have been dealing with the wonderful folks at HAI for several years and have always been amazed at their professional standards! The quality of service is second to none. The presentation of artist's work on the website is of a very high standard and I love the easy way in which users can interact with their content with the minimum of fuss or technical know-how. But what really makes HAI stand out from the crowd is the personal touch. Every enquiry I've made, every call for assistance has been dealt with toute suite and on a personal level. I feel respected and cared for as a member of this - Andrew Pawley
