Image Source is a UK based Art Licensing Agency, which has been in business since 1996. Image Source is recognised as a leading supplier of art and illustration to the Greetings Card, Fine Art Print, Stationery, Giftware, Ceramics, Packaging and Book Publishing industries. Our portfolio of images covers a wide variety of categories and styles. We represent approximately 80 top quality artists, illustrators and graphic designers and specialise in developing new concepts and design ideas.

Prior to setting up the agency, John Williams worked for 10 years as the Art Director of an international greeting card and framing print publisher. John has always been the driving force behind Image Source’s creative development but as the company has grown he has had to add several team members to who now manage commissions, client accounts and the day to day operations of a successful company.

The categories of art covered by our portfolios include Christmas, Everyday, Occasions, Traditional, Fine Art, Contemporary, Cute / Whimsical, Modern / Pop, Humour and many others. All of these categories can be found, searchable by keyword or artist, online.

A large number of character lines are available, which have been developed as licensing properties and we offer a bespoke design service to customer requirement, for new product lines. Our artists are extremely versatile and can create images to commission, within a tight deadline, at very agreeable rates.

At Image Source we recognise the importance of our artists development and success. Over the years we have developed a reputation for genuine and fair dealing with our artists who we believe are the most important part of our business. Through the efforts of our Creative Director we can boast that we’re the only agency who offer regular artist development meetings and research their potential markets thoroughly worldwide.
