When tap dancing tigers in tuxedos and piano-playing porcupines in party hats hide behind every flap, will Zebra ever get to sleep? Illustrated by the fabulous Gareth Lucas 'Night Night Peekaboo' is out now from Little Tiger Books!
"Lorraine and her agency are pretty much publishing royalty; The Organisation work with some of the very, very best illustration talents, and it’s always a thrill to be working with one of their stable They are on our ‘go-to' list for all new commissions.
Organisation agents without fail are a joy to deal with, and contribute so much more than simple deal-making."
STRAWBERRIE DONNELLY,
ART DIRECTOR
"I first came into contact with The Organisation when my wife worked with them for a number of years, enjoying many clients through them. I joined the agency in 2008, initially in collaboration with my wife, but now I work independently. The agency have not only worked hard ensuring a steady run of brilliant clients (Usborne, Little Tiger Press, Crocodile Creek) but are experts at negotiating fees and dealing with the specifics of a project. Approachable and understanding, I can rely on them to handle things, leaving me to focus on the artwork."
Gareth Lucas
Represented by The Organisation
"What I like best about the agency is that I feel valued and supported as an artist, being part of a very successful team of international illustrators, which has the perfect balance of size and talent. Working with an agent comes down to trust, fairness and respect, Lorraine and The Organisation have helped me to grow and develop as an illustrator, giving me 15 years of continuous and varied commissions.
They have help me to form working relationships with top clients, yet always attracting new commissions and projects, negotiating better fees and terms. It means a lot to know they have my back and are looking after my interests as an artist."
Richard Johnson
Represented by The Organisation
"Joining The Organisation was one of the best things to happen to me since I’ve started working as an illustrator. Since joining, I’ve had the chance to work on some wonderful projects that I wouldn’t have dreamt of before. I feel truly happy and thankful to be part of such a wonderful group of people."
Victoria Assanelli
Represented by The Organisation
"The wonderful team at The Organisation has given me great advice, confidence in myself and they have sent me amazing projects from awesome clients that I'm certain I would not have found otherwise, whilst taking care of all the boring stuff like negotiating and billing, of course. During the past eight years that we have been together, they have helped me grow as an artist and illustrator and I'm very thankful for this!"
Livia Coloji
Represented by The Organisation
"The Organisation agency is wonderful to work with. I never have to be worried about negotiating convenient fees with clients, fair schedules or remembering to promote my work. I only have to focus on what illustrators like the most: art! I let Lorraine to do all the rest."
