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.”

“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.”

“Cool site.”
- PJ McQuade
“There are many pages where you can dump your link and get into the maze of work-searching co-illustrators. HAI is very different in this, behind this website they are constantly busy -in real life- to get you customers and it pays off. Probably the majority of illustrators on HAI are here since years, and that says something.”
- Tijmen Ploeger
“I have not been using HAI for very long, so cannot comment on work or enquiries that I have received via the website. However, the submission and profile-creation process itself was fantastic - simple, clear, and thoroughly explained throughout, so that the creation of my profile on HAI was incredibly easy and took a lot less time than I had expected. Great stuff!”

“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”
