Jamie was fantastic to work with. He took on a very technical project with a few unknown variables (we ran a competition to find the design that would become the mural) with such ease and enthusiasm. The final mural is a masterpiece and exceeded all of our expectations. We are very grateful Jamie was so willing to recreate an artwork created by a member of our community - and go above and beyond to make sure it looked incredible.

Australian illustrators to hire, much like illustrators from other parts of Australia, specialise in a specific niche of artwork. An illustrator for hire is a person who creates two-dimensional images for various creative reasons. Some illustrators work alongside large brands or magazines. Others create artwork for children's books or medical manuals. Typical Australian illustrators will choose an area they excel in and focus their talents on that artistic niche. Digital artists can design artwork specific to businesses websites embodying the theme or aesthetic of a company.

Now, there are plenty of cheap illustrators for hire that will get the job done. But, much like all art (big or small projects), good work is worth the price. As mentioned, some illustrators for hire only work in their excelling field. Artists with a deep understanding of the human body may only accept jobs for medical booklets or websites. Cartoonists may veer toward greeting cards, wrapping paper or children's books. There is space and demand for every type of artists within the realm of illustrators.

Despite how many illustrators to hire there are, there will always be demand. New products, businesses, books, brands and ideas are consistently being formed. These concepts need design, making "illustrators for hire near me" quite the popular Google search.

A Melbourne illustrator will often set their hours. These hours can depend on other projects, general availability and, truthfully, project interest. We encourage connecting with illustrators that have a history of working in the field required. Commissioning a medical manual illustrator to design a children's book might be met with uncertainty. Where to hire illustrators? Anywhere. Despite being Australian based, you can connect with an illustrator from across the globe as most designs can be digitalised. A lot of illustrators are more than willing to help form your vision. Let's get creative!
