Hire Illustrators

An illustrator creates bespoke artwork for a brief: editorial images for magazines and press, advertising and campaign visuals, children's book art, packaging illustration, character design, lettering and type, spot illustrations and increasingly animated or motion-ready work.

Illustration is usually priced per project or per image rather than by the day, and the fee depends heavily on usage - where, for how long and how widely the artwork will appear. Editorial spots are relatively low cost; national advertising with broad usage rights is much higher. Always agree licensing up front.

Share references and the feel you are after, the deliverables and sizes, where the work will be used (which sets licensing), the deadline and the budget. Then trust the artist's style - the reason to hire a specific illustrator is their voice, so brief the problem and let them interpret it.

A consistent, distinctive style that suits your brief, evidence of work in your context (editorial, advertising, packaging, publishing), and the ability to deliver a series with consistent quality, not just single images.

By a weekly-refreshed composite of editorial standing, portfolio depth, engagement, client recommendations and recent activity - so active, well-regarded illustrators surface first.
