Review
Illustration makes me happy. I love the idiosyncracy, personal vision and the undying commitment to visual invention that I've found working in partnership with many, many CIA artists over the years. --Mark Reddy, Head of Art, BBH
'Illustration has been arguably the liveliest art form of this decade, and CIA have been right at the centre of it. This book paints a brilliant and lively portrait of the world, the art and the business of contemporary illustration.' --Marc Valli, Magma Books
