Good artwork starts with finding the right illustrator. We exist to make that search clearer.
Hire Illustrator helps businesses across the United States hire illustrators, for one-time projects, ongoing creative support or a dedicated illustrator.
The moment a project needs artwork
Picture a business that has a launch, a book, a campaign or a brand refresh ahead and needs illustrations for it. The need is clear. What is missing is the time to look through styles and find someone who fits, next to a full working day.
The person who should be briefing an illustrator is usually the person with the least time to spare.
“A good match starts with a clear picture of what the artwork is for.”
How we work
Hire Illustrator helps businesses and creatives hire illustrators for custom artwork and branding, and for editorial and digital illustration, in the way that suits the project.
A single piece, an ongoing series and a dedicated illustrator ask for different arrangements, so we agree the arrangement with you before we start.
- First, we talk it throughYour goals, your audience and what the artwork is for.
- Then, we plan the workA tailored plan built around your priorities and the style you have in mind.
- Next, we work with youA collaborative process, so your feedback is part of every stage.
- Then, we stay alongsideSupport while the work goes on. Our fee is charged only when a hire starts.
Hiring an illustrator should be clear, careful and fair, for the business and for the illustrator.
We picture a market where a business can find an illustrator without guessing, and where an illustrator is matched with work that suits their style.
Our mission is to make that practical: a clear brief for every project, and support for the business from the first conversation to the first day of work.
What we believe
Start with the purpose
What the artwork has to do matters more than a list of styles.
Style and fit together
We look at the illustrator’s style and the fit with your project side by side.
Say it plainly
Any fee that is not our standard one is set out in a written quote before work starts.
Fair to everyone
Candidates never pay us a fee, and businesses pay only when a hire starts.
Sound familiar?
Businesses that look for an illustrator often face one of these moments. Here is how we help with each.
“We need a lot of artwork and no time to find the right person.”
What is usually going on. The team is busy with the work in front of it, so the search starts late and runs on whatever time is left.
What we do. We agree the goals and priorities with you, then help you find an illustrator who fits.
What changes. The search stops competing with the day job, and the project starts from a clear brief.
“We have a particular style in mind, and what we see does not match.”
What is usually going on. “Illustrator” covers many styles, so a search turns up artists who are not the one you need.
What we do. We understand your goals first, then tailor the search to the project.
What changes. You hear about illustrators chosen for the project, not only for the title.
“The hire looked right, and it did not work out.”
What is usually going on. The style fitted, but the project, the team or the expectations were not what the illustrator had understood.
What we do. We go back to the brief to see what was missed. If a new hire we placed does not work out within 60 days of their start date, we find a replacement at no extra fee.
What changes. The second search starts from what you learned, and you do not pay twice for the same role.
