TODAY’S THE BIG REVEAL! It’s our 6th Annual Lilla’s Art Menagerie–our biggest ever, with over 250 brand-new stunning images to show you, our favorite art directors. Our aim is to provide you with inspiring new work in the themes you look for most.
A few months ago, agents Susan McCabe and Kim Fleming created inspiring trend boards for our artists based on our clients’ most requested themes and concepts. We let the boards loose on our artists, and boy, did they run with them! You’ll find art that’s perfect for so many projects from kid books, greeting cards, toys, games, fabric, apparel, editorial, and much more.
Art Directors: Be quick! Many greeting card companies snap up images on the first day of our Menagerie (today!)
Do you commission work? You’ll be sure to be inspired by what you see. Simply reply to this email.
