Those not familiar with Wilkinson Studios and the services we perform are in for a very pleasant surprise. We are unlike any artist's representatives you've ever encountered! We are proud to offer the collective talents of our professional illustrators, both nationally and internationally. But what sets us apart from the other rep firms is that we also offer art management services for large volume blackline and color illustration programs. In combination with our art management services, our strength is our people. Managers and support staff consisting of designers, marketing and production professionals, and illustrators perform the services provided by Wilkinson Studios. Beyond that we are people who have a personal interest in your complete satisfaction, regardless how large or small the project might be. Finally, Christine Wilkinson, president and founder of Wilkinson Studios, brings nearly twenty years of experience representing illustrators to the publishing industry and as a result a broad understanding of the needs specific to publishers, design and development houses. She prides herself in being intimately involved in the everyday operations of the firm that bears her name. We, the staff and illustrators, at Wilkinson Studios, look forward to working with you!
