Welcome to the weird, wonderful world of illustration. Prepare to be fascinated and frustrated by a field that offers great personal satisfaction and creativity offset by unreliable income and unpredictable employment. Illustrators are an independent and interesting breed of artists, generous with sharing knowledge and information. On this site you will find a bookstore with many resources for illustrators, followed by information and advice on careers, marketing, portfolios, organizations and networking.
I hope you find the information, links and resources on this website to be useful on your quest into illustration. Good Luck!
