You'll know it the moment you see it.
That exact moment when the perfect artwork makes your entire project click into place. We don't just connect you with an artist — we connect you with the artist. The one whose work stops the viewer, elevates the project, and creates the kind of buzz you can't manufacture.
We've been making these matches for years, and have the track record to prove it — because the right creative connection changes everything.
Have a look around — you'll see the agency behind the stories and images that haven't just defined our culture, they've shaped a generation.

What our partners say
I have worked with so many Shannon illustrators during my time at Disney Hyperion. When I hire a Shannon illustrator, I am confident in their talent, creativity, and professionalism. I look at the whimsical picture books and dynamic covers Shannon illustrators have created over the years, I remember the delight and excitement I felt when I first saw the beautiful final art!

Shannon Associates consistently delivers exceptional talent. Their understanding of our brand and creative needs is unmatched.
Sarah Mitchell
Creative Director, Penguin Random House
I’d reached a career crossroads and thought it was time I looked further afield for a representative who was able to cast a wider net to get me commissions. The first U.S. agency I contacted, Shannon Associates, signed me on, and within a week I was asked if I wanted to provide some sample art for a planned series from Sourcebooks… John Aardema wrote me a three-word email—‘You’re our guy’—and that was it!
Andy Elkerton
Illustrator, NYT Bestselling "How To Catch" Series — As quoted in Publisher’s Weekly
Collaborating with the amazing team at Shannon Associates has been an absolute joy. Their professionalism, creativity, and integrity make them a pleasure to work with, and their solutions consistently surpass expectations. They don’t just deliver beautiful artwork; they make the entire experience feel like a shared success.
Olga Grlic

Working with high-caliber illustrators at Shannon Associates is a rare pleasure—their ability to transform ideas into striking, meaningful visuals brings life to our articles. They bring insight and originality that turns our rough brief into unforgettable work.
