Fliss Goldsmith

Ian is a First Class Illustrator. He worked to my very specific brief to illustrate my first Children's book. The characters had very precise requirements as my message was around diversity and equality.
Ian was quick to respond to any queries and completed the work within the agreed time frame. His illustrations are of the highest quality. I would absolutely recommend him and definitely work with him again in the future.

This was my first animated children’s book and the characters were not the easiest to showcase the storyline. Ian’s communication to establish the message was second to none and I would certainly work with him in the future Thank you.

Rosemary Blake
Illustrators
Ian communicated promptly and always maintained enthusiasm for the project. I learned that talking about images using words is difficult and would understand how to direct the work more effectively next time. His illustrations are gorgeous. He does the work in watercolour before transferring to a digital format. He is very professional and keen to ensure customer satisfaction. More...

Samantha Metcalf, Mysteries in Time
Ian is a brilliantly talented illustrator who clearly loves what he does. He is able to bring the images in my head to life, just from me describing the scene or giving the particular chapter. He always works swiftly to a deadline and is always reliable and professional, keeping us informed of progress. Working with Ian is a pleasure and I wholeheartedly recommend him! More...

David J Robertson
Ian illustrated my three children’s books perfectly with minimal input from myself. I gave him the text and and my idea of which scene to depict in each chapter. The results were exactly what I wanted and very reasonably priced. I would recommend him wholeheartedly, but please leave him free to illustrate my fourth book. 😀 More...
