Glen was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The illustrations that Glen completed for my book surpassed my expectations.
He created gorgeous, colourful and engaging illustrations for my children's book.

I am so delighted with his work, the images are incredible. He is so precise in his work, ensures you are happy throughout.

I can be indecisive, changed my mind more than two times, Glen was always so patient and understanding.

The characters in my book are impressively illustrated, the colours stand out, he literally brought my book to life with his beautiful work. Will most definitely work with Glen again. He is remarkably talented. He is very fair on prices too.

It was a pleasure to work with Glen from start to finish; he responded promptly with his quotes, was polite and clear as to what was included within his pricing and was patient with my queries. His imagination and creativity perfectly captured my ideas throughout the design process, he was incredibly helpful through publishing and I'm thrilled with the final piece.

Glen really went above and beyond, even responding to me a few days after his baby was born! Highly recommend.

I got in contact with glen, less than a month ago. He was very accommodating with his price. Also very knowledgeable on the process of illustrating and publishing a book. This was my 1st go at writing my own children’s book and Glen guided me through the process. Always contactable and extremely efficient. He has helped bring my book to life which I am so over the moon with. More...

Glen is AMAZING! From our first email I knew I wanted to work with him. He obviously has years of experience in this industry, I have none. He helped me turn a dream of publishing a children’s book into a reality. He has been prompt and responsive via email and he has also been flexible when I requested alterations to be made. I really hope we will work together again in the future. Thank you Glen! More...

My project was somehow abstract and required a lot of intuition from the artist and I wasn't sure I would find someone able to read my mind and draw everything the way I wanted.
But I was wrong!
Glen not only was able to interpret my very rough storyboard but he was able to capture the deepest essence of what I wanted!
I have no idea how he did it but it really shows he's a true artist able to understand the client's mind.
He went beyond my expectations and I will certainly keep working with Glen for upcoming projects.
Thanks so much, Glen, I'm really glad I found you!
Martino
ps: I would have given 10 stars if it was possible.

Glen has been very helpful and has produced excellent illustrations for my children's book - Smiley and the Acorn - Treasure on the Isles of Scilly.
His work has brought the characters to life. He was very professional, consulting at each stage of his work to confirm he was in tune with my specifications. He worked quickly and gave me excellent value for money.
I would highly recommend him and I'm looking forward to working with him again on my next book.

Absolutely love our illustrations to bits, they are bright, cheery and the characters simply charming. This was our first book and a very personal project for us. Glen took the time to understand and bring our vision to life, he was suppportive, skilled and just simply a delight to work with. We would have absolutely no hesitation in saying look no further as Glen is first class. We could never have finished our book without Glen's illustrations, advice and guidance, he was so much more than an illustrator. More...

Fabulous.
All positive - Glen was the “On” in our “On/off” partnership. He was so patient with the, at times VERY, long gaps waiting for my input, but was ready to spring into action with sensible questions I had never thought of.
He guided a novice through a shirt children’s book project.
Next - illustrations for chapter books.... I’ll certainly call on Glen when I’ve actually written some copy!

Well done

I really enjoyed working with Glen on my first book.
From our first email conversation through to the finished article, Glen’s professionalism has been 1st class. Nothing has been too much trouble and when I have asked for any changes or small tweeks, his response has always been very positive. I hope to work with Glen again in the future and wouldn’t consider going to another illustrator as his work is quite outstanding. When I saw the final images, I can honestly say that I was blown away!
Thank you Glen, you have been a pure joy to work with.

Nothing was too much trouble. I had no idea what I was doing when I started my book but Glen was on hand every step of the way.
This is hopefully the first of many books together.
Thank you for everything Glen.

It was a complete pleasure communicating and collaborating with Glen Holman.

I found him polite, friendly, professional and easy to exchange ideas and concepts with.

He did every thing possible to accommodate my hopes on how I wanted the illustrations to turn out.

He worked quickly, and at each stage sought my approval and consent before moving on to the next stage.
He kept me informed through out the process.


I think he did an excellent job on evolving my character.

He put my prospective book together beautifully.

I would not hesitate to either recommend him to a friend, or to use him again if the circumstance arouse.

He exceeded expectations.

I definitely made the right choice.

It was a great opportunity to work with Glen as he helped me quite a lot in drawing a full experiment setup. He was nice, patient and listened to my ideas carefully many times when doing the work. I am very happy with the final results. I would recommend him for designing and drawing complicated graphs and tools.
Thanks.

I feel very fortunate that I found Glen on this site. Glen has helped me to bring my children's picture book to life with beautiful illustrations and great ideas.

I look forward to working with Glen on my second book in the future. More...

Great guy and a great artist decent speed on the drawing aswell and was very open to my ideas

Q&As

I collaborate closely with the client from the beginning to ensure their input is incorporated. I start with the sketching of roughs which, upon approval are taken through to a linework and basic colour stage. Once these are approved by the client then they are moved on to the final stage.

This process keeps the client involved throughout, so we are both on the same page throughout the process.

What's required. What it'll be used for. The deadline. How involved they want to be in the process. What they had in mind.

That it's creative and every day is different. I have a lot of knowledge surrounding the design area thanks to other jobs I've worked (in printing, book publishing, and design).

I'm also good at it, and it feels good to do good work!

I had the opportunity as I had recently travelled back to England with my partner, who needed to tour Britains Universities to see where they would like to work - so I needed a job I could do from home, before working from home was a ubiquitous thing.

Enough happy and repeat customers then made it a viable full time option!

I work really hard to make the client happy. I will give 100% of my attention to the project and I am invested in maintaining my good reputation!
