Which illustrators or design agencies would members recommend for brand illustration and design work?

Members have had good experiences with a small number of suppliers. **Bowimi** is used by at least one member and described as 'really good'; note that they have a tenacious sales team. For illustrated book work, members can facilitate introductions to a kids' book illustrator. **Anspach and Hobday** are known to work directly with illustrators rather than going through agencies—members recommend speaking to them about their approach and contacts. One member has a close connection at Bowimi (Ian Arands) who may be a useful point of contact. The group prefers direct relationships with illustrators over agency intermediaries where possible.
