Illustrators in the Vanguard Directory

Illustrators draw and paint original images to order: children’s book pages, editorial spots, product packaging, character designs, custom maps, portraits, technical and medical diagrams, and the spot art that gives a website or menu personality. People come to this page with a manuscript that needs pictures, a brand that stock images cannot capture, or a gift commission with a deadline.

Illustration has no license; style and reliability are what you are buying, so look through the portfolio for work in the manner you want rather than hoping an artist will change style for you. Ask how many sketch rounds come before final art, what file formats and resolution you will receive, whether you are buying the original, a license for specific uses, or full rights, and how long each stage takes. Pricing is usually per piece, scaled by size, complexity and usage. For logos and layout rather than imagery, graphic design studios fit better, and for moving pictures, animators.

Each illustrator on this page submitted their own listing and a person reviewed it before it went live. If you illustrate for clients, apply to get listed — free, a few minutes.
