License to Inspire
The Central Illustration Agency
Edited by Benjamin Cox
We've been represented by Central Illustration Agency for nearly 8 years now, we never thought we were illustrators until they told us we could be (maybe still debatable).
During that time we've worked with some great agencies, rebranded CIA, produced some quarterlies and formed Fine & Dandy, a second illustration offering in collaboration with Mick Marston.
Support from and activity with CIA has definitely gone hand in hand with how we've learnt to approach our practice.
So here's their debut hardback publication, "License To Inspire" - we've only seen pictures so far but the Staziker Jones designed book, indicates just how much the illustration industry has changed over the last decade, documenting a vibrant response from the lovely folk at CIA.
"A collection of work from some of the world's most inspiring illustrators and the story of the agency that represents them.
License To Inspire is an eclectic mix of stunning artwork and fascinating interviews from the world's most talented illustrators and industry innovators. An invaluable resource for art buyers and other professionals within the creative industries, this will soon become a recommended text for art students and particularly those who wish to work in the industry. With inclusions from a diverse range of artists from Jonas Bergstrand to Sir Peter Blake, the book is packed with beautiful images and thought-provoking words. Created by the acclaimed Central Illustration Agency, who have been associated with the brightest talent in illustrative art since 1983, this book will be an essential addition to any coffee table or agency library."
