Shannon Associates Inc.
About Us

The work says everything.

World-class creatives. Groundbreaking work.

Shannon Associates is a New York–based creative and literary management agency representing the world's most compelling illustrators, animators, authors, and creatives.

Our creatives have worked on some of the most celebrated projects of our time — including the Harry Potter series, one of the best-selling publishing phenomena in history, and the How to Catch series, which has occupied multiple spots on the New York Times bestseller list simultaneously. From that kind of global scale down to the deeply personal self-published story that changes one reader's life, we believe every project deserves exceptional art.

From the massive success of the Hazardous Tales series to A Series of Unfortunate Events, Dune, The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Star Wars — Shannon creatives have left their mark on some of the most beloved franchises and stories ever told, across every medium imaginable.

From murals at the world-renowned Rockefeller Plaza to Imagineering projects at Walt Disney World, from bringing Marvel's most iconic superheroes to life to animating the world of The Last Kids on Earth — Shannon creatives show up at the highest levels of the industry, on the projects that define culture.

Multiple Shannon creatives have been honored with the Hamilton King Award from the Society of Illustrators — the field's highest individual honor — along with gold medals from virtually every major competition in the industry. The work has been recognized everywhere it matters.

We represent promising young illustrators on the rise and battle-tested veterans whose names define the industry — and we champion both with equal conviction.

175+ creatives. Every continent. Every culture. Every specialty. Every story. One agency that knows exactly what great looks like — and we have the track record to prove it.
