Top stuff, Webber.

I have a few (working) illustrator, who get regular gigs with high profile clients as well as having their work featured in a number of design and illustration mags.

At least four of them are with Heart Agency
HEART

Another two are with Big Active
Big Active - art direction, graphic design, creative consultancy and representation +44 (0)20 7739 5601

Another has ditched the agent to go it alone producing artists book (not a problem with the agent, as she was also getting good gigs). I'll ask her who her agent was.

Some of them release prints through the Soma Gallery, so you should perhaps look into that as a means to get exposure (not to mention, some possible early income).
Soma Gallery, Bristol. Tel: 0117 973 9838
