We represent 200+ top and varied international illustrators and animators. They work throughout the international creative industries. We have offices in the London, New York, Mumbai, Shanghai, Rio de Janeiro, and Sydney as well as associated offices in Hamburg, Paris and Singapore. We have been going since 1929, which gives a hint that we know our game and try to deliver beyond expectation. We manage a few hundred illustration and animation commissions a month in a professional and relaxed manner, using sophisticated background systems we have developed over the years to best serve our clients and artists alike.Since 2013 Illustration Ltd has been donating 1% of its turnover to systematic tree planting to help reverse the rate of global warming. In 2018 we passed the 1 million trees planted milestone. Our target is now set firmly on planting a total of 10 million trees in Zambia and the Ethiopian Rift Valley.We also help the families who plant and nurse the trees to produce honey which they can sell. This has more than doubled their income and enabled them to send their children to school, building a better-educated generation for the future. The background to our thinking:On a two year sabbatical spent motorcycling around the world, IllustrationX’s CEO Harry Lyon-Smith was shocked to witness the degree to which the natural world is being rapidly marginalised by the joined-up scale of urban and industrial expansion, in particular the widespread loss of forests.In searching for a way in which IllustrationX could help, inspiration came from Let My People Go Surfing by Yvon Chouinard of the outdoor clothing company Patagonia. Following Chouinard’s example, in December 2012 Harry and the IllustrationX management team made the decision to donate 1% of turnover to reforestation, with the aim of planting 1 million trees every five years.In February 2013 Illustration joined 1% for the Planet, a global movement which builds and supports an alliance of businesses financially committed to creating a healthy planet.We partner with WeForest.org to fulfil our commitment to a sustainable planet. WeForest offers practicable solutions with the aim of restoring ecosystems, focusing also on long-term well being of local communities. WeForest’ s objective is to make Earth cooler and contribute to the unstoppable movement that is restoring the 350 million hectares of additional forest needed to remain below 2°C temperature increase.
