At Illo Agency, we pride ourselves in representing a global range of artists; distinctively diverse in creativity and uniquely celebrated by like-minded clients. Illo is brand new type of illustration agency that provides a kaleidoscopic curation of global illustration styles, straddling use across multiple creative markets. our artists are from opposite corners of the world and influenced by cultures that create truly unique styles. you may have noticed that our logo is missing a corner. the physical edge this creates works as a visual reminder for our team to translate the values at the core of Illo’s, albeit jagged, heart. We have the EDGE to our competition by representing EDGY artwork. not dissimilar from approaching a cliff EDGE, we task risks by representing artwork that is different to what you might find elsewhere. you may VERGE on finding comparable styles, but no two are the same. just like EDGES, our artwork is SHARP and so are the artists. they make a POINT of making a difference, right at the PEAK of the commercial creative field. We strive to represent artwork that challenges creativity within current mainstream media; art that commits to being distinct and diverse.

Oksana's created a Wonderbus > to bring joy to children! 😍 🚐
🌟 Exciting Project Alert! 🌟 I recently had the pleasure of working on a fascinating commission – creating a Wonderbus designed to bring joy to children. The project was incredibly rewarding, and I loved every moment of illustrating it. A special shoutout to the talented Dmytro Podolianchuck, whose expertise in layout design made the final product truly spectacular. This collaboration resulted in not only a seamless working experience but, most importantly, in happy and delighted children. I'm always on the lookout for new and exciting projects that challenge my creativity and bring positive impact. Let's connect and explore how we can create something wonderful together!
Leanne Coelho loves drawing quirky, whimsical characters with silliness and depth, inspired by nature, fantasy and the small things that make a big difference. Leanne is drawn to crayons, coloured pencils, sketches and collage. She grew up in South Africa and Portugal where her scribbles and stories earned the high honour of a place on her parent’s fridge. As an LGBT+ artist, she finds great importance in creating diverse pictures and stories that encourage resilience, imagination, empathy, courage, curiosity and a sense of wonder in the world. We're so excited of what the future holds with Illo, for this very talented artist! See the full Q&A here > https://shorturl.at/f6KfM

When we asked our new recruit Sofia Ossman to give a scenario of a project that would mean the world to her.... I would love to publish a children’s book with some of the publishers I admire. My dream project is a fun, bright, and engaging book for kids aged 0-3. It could help children learn about the exciting world around them or teach them about friendship and kindness, understanding different emotions, or simple things like ABCs and 123s—all in a fun and engaging way! I’d also love to include lift-the-flap elements to make the learning experience even more interactive and enjoyable. This project would be incredibly meaningful because it aligns with my goal of spreading happiness and building a sense of belonging among all children through my art. Sofia Ossman's vibrant and quirky artworks bring joy through colour, bold shapes and patterns. Sofia's journey is as unique as her art. After a decade as a model travelling the globe, she has absorbed a rich tapestry of artistic and cultural influences, which helped her shape her distinctive style. She's now decided to pursue her childhood dream of illustrating children's books, a dream that began with sketches in the margins of her own books. Sofia's engaging and lively illustrations are sure to deeply resonate deeply with children from around the world. Check out her Q&A here > https://shorturl.at/vEHZt

On Friday 26th April 2024, Prestel Publishing went to town (in NYC) with a launch party to celebrate the release of Category is: Cocktails!, a vibrant drinks recipe book featuring brilliant illustrations from illo's own Cheyne Gallarde. The event was elevated with performances and bingo hosted by Christeene and Linda Simpson. Category Is: Cocktails! features original recipes for 60 cocktails and zero-proof drinks, alongside beautifully-rendered illustrations and profiles of the personalities who inspired them. Here are some pics for second-hand enjoyment. There was even an Instagram-famous cat there!! This book has been hugely popular, selling around 3,000 copies in the first three weeks!
