Our Story

Our Experience

Our experience at Allied Artists Illustration Agency means that we are quite discerning about the illustrators we represent. There is a lot of cheap illustration available now but you generally get what you pay for with poor quality artwork. So our experience tells us that the definition of a good illustration is meeting the clients brief and budget, but also allowing a degree of creativity from the illustrator. That perfect balance makes for more appealing books and magazines that leap off the shelf.

The Agency

Allied Artists Illustration Agency is a leading UK based professional and experienced agency specialising in International Publishing. We started in 1983 with about six artists illustrating magazine stories in the UK and now illustrate across the whole spectrum of publishing working for multi-national publishers, leading Licensors and specialist small internet and traditional publishers.

We had until recently over 100 international illustrators but have trimmed down to a select and focused number with a wide range of styles, expertise, skill and above all enthusiasm and professionalism.

We combine talent and skill with experience and energy.

We illustrate picture books, graphic novels, educational books, non-fiction, magazines and the absolutely cutest kid’s novelty books.

We are passionate about building long term relationships with both our artists and clients.
