Nearly 50% of the company’s turnover comes from the children's book market and has resulted in some of our most successful illustrators being booked for work nearly two years in advance.
Additional work comes via our extensive contacts in magazines, design groups, advertising, adult publishing and greetings cards.
We have comprehensive experience in negotiating fees and protecting the rights to our artist's work and we pride ourselves on dealing with the legal minefield of publishing contracts to the benefit of our illustrators.

We LOVE working with illustrators to give your talent the best exposure to our many clients and our reps spend time actively working with you to develop your portfolio.We highlight the strengths and the weaknesses and set briefs to fill any gaps and give constructive feedback to enable your work to grow. If we take you on, we have confidence in you and your abilities and we aim to share than enthusiasm with clients.

We help you make strategic decisions for marketing your work and keep abreast with all the latest developments to put your work in front of clients. As a major agency we can negotiate great deals on advertising not available to the individual.
