Your illustration community
You'll find there are lots of benefits to being part of our club... We have access to up-to-date and reliable mailing lists. Our email newsletters go out to several thousand commissioning contacts, not just other illustrators. Our website is fast, our illustrator database is always up-to-date and members control their own content. We even have an in-house programmer to make sure everything runs like clockwork. However, perhaps the most important thing is that if you have questions or need help, you’ll be able to email real people who will give you real answers and advice.
We would love you to join us! Sign up today or email us, if you have any questions.
