THE BIG REVEAL IS HERE! Our 7th Annual Art Menagerie with our largest collection of brand-new work by our artists.

Illustration & animation by Erin Vanessa
TODAY’S THE BIG REVEAL! It’s our 7th Annual Lilla’s Art Menagerie, with over 200 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 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, puzzles, 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.
