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!)

Today, I’d love to spotlight one of my busiest artists, Åsa Gilland, who I discovered a few years ago in my MATS courses. I fell in love with her appealing characters, rich textures, and excellent storytelling.
You can easily see why she is so frequently requested for book illustration work. I’ve picked a few favorite recent pieces that I thought you’d enjoy. Scroll down to see more or jump over here to see her work on our site and read more about her here.

My dad was a mapmaker who’d spend summers outdoors detailing aerial photos. I’d pass time in the car, drawing creatures and folks entangled in perplexing drama. I’m still pretty good at drawing in a moving car.

I’m delighted to reveal one of the assignments I gave our artists for the Lilla’s Art Menagerie which we launched last week. I asked artists to create a portrait of Awkwafina in a mid-century stylish environment. It’s always interesting to see a range of artists’ interpretations of the same assignment. Hope you enjoy the show!
