Karine was a great find. I was looking to publish my first children's book but had no idea where to start. I found Karine and she was a fountain of information not just about illustration but also everything else about the process and what to do next.
The illustrations where done sooner then I thought and loved them as soon as I saw them. When I am showing people my book that's always my first question who did your illustrations?
I totally recommend Karine !!!

I highly recommend US Illustrations for your next project. Karine was very responsive and accommodating for my children's book that required a fair amount of world building and imagery. Illustrations were done with care and sent over on time; she was an excellent collaborator. Hope to work with her on future books!

I'm so glad I found this company! My experience was great. They were very informative with helping me understand the process of illustrating a children's book. The illustrations were so cute and it's everything I imagined for my book. I highly recommend US Illustrations. Plus, the pricing was really good. That was another reason I chose them.

I worked with USIllustrations for my first children's book, and they did a fantastic job! From start to finish, Lena kept me informed throughout the process, and my illustrator, Karine, brought my vision to life beautifully. The quality of the illustrations is exceptional. What stood out most to me was their patience and dedication—they were incredibly accommodating with revisions, making sure each illustration matched my vision perfectly. The team also delivered everything in a timely manner. I'll definitely be working with USIllustrations again in the future!

As a retired business executive and first time author of children's books, it was my good fortune to work with Karine Makartichan of US Illustrations. Karine is not only a top notch illustrator, she is a true partner in the process of creating a book and bringing it to life. She is insightful, responsive and highly collaborative; a pleasure to work with. Lastly, Karine and her team delivered on their commitments, as the project came in on time and on budget. Needless to say, I highly recommend US Illustrations.

I cannot speak highly enough about the outstanding service I received from US Illustration! From start to finish, the experience was seamless, professional, and far exceeded my expectations. Karine demonstrated exceptional attention to detail, genuine care, and a rare commitment to excellence. She's a truly gifted artist who brought my book to life in the most beautiful way.
Karine took all my concerns seriously and addressed each one with great care and patience. Every step of the process was handled efficiently, transparently, and with a personal touch that made me feel truly valued. As a first-time book publisher, I was nervous about the illustration process, but Karine made it incredibly easy and enjoyable.
I wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone seeking quality, reliability, and an experience that leaves you genuinely satisfied. Thank you, Karine, for setting such a high standard!

You will have a great experience if you decide to go with US Illustrations! First, they sent me a free illustration, which was the only company that had provided that to me. Karine is beyond talented. Her drawings are incredible. My book had complex colors due to the nature of the concept, and Karine worked with me until my vision came to life. I get so many compliments on the illustrations from both kids and adults. Also, US Illustrations is fairly priced and worth every penny. I highly recommend them!

I cannot contain my excitement over the incredible work that Karine has done in bringing my book idea to life through her stunning illustrations. From the moment I shared my story with her, she understood exactly what I was trying to convey and took it to a whole new level with her artistic talent. Each illustration perfectly captures the essence of my characters and plot, enhancing the overall narrative in ways I never thought possible. Seeing my words come alive on the page through Karine's creativity has been an absolute dream come true. Her attention to detail, passion for storytelling, and exceptional skill have truly transformed my vision into something beyond my wildest imagination. I am forever grateful for Karine's artistry and how she has elevated my story in ways I could have never envisioned on my own.

I remember almost two years ago February of 2023, I found US Illustrations. I sent an inquiry and they ask if it was OK to call. I talked to them and they were very nice. I told them I needed the art to look just like my drawing, and they did. I wanted to check some other companies in my area and no one wanted to work with my drawing, they wanted to be creative, it all came full circle back to US Illustrations. They are doing incredible work for me, whether it's art for a blanket, logo's, business cards, and now we are working on a children's book. And they are bringing all my ideas to life. I couldn't ask for a better team of people to work with. Thank you Karine and US Illustrations for being there for me.

I had a wonderful experience from start to finish with US Illustrations, especially Karine. This was my first time experience with illustrations and she helped answer all of my questions. She even helped me after my book was finalized. I felt comfortable with her as my illustrator. The work she does is also of very high quality and you can tell she has a strong passion for her work. The time she puts into each detail made my vision literally come to life. I am so happy and thankful I chose this company to complete my first children's book with. I will be back for my next book asap.

I fell asleep with a dream and when I woke up Karine at US Illustrations had turned it into a reality! Our level of imagination blended seamlessly on this project and truly I can't wait for the next! I reached out to several illustrators before selected US Illustrations. I wanted to be sure I could trust someone with something as special as my first children's book. They were fast, professional and have gone above and beyond! I have quite the imagination and when I see something in my mind I fear someone else will not be able to recreate it but when I say Karine and her team did just that, I mean it! NAILED IT! I was shocked when I received the free trial sketch of my character because he truly was everything and more! It was as if she was in my mind, I still don't know how they managed to do it. He couldn't have been more perfect! I had a phone call with Lena and she answered all my questions and by the end of our call I knew they'd be the illustration company I wanted to go with. Karine responded to every email almost within the day I sent or the very next day. She was open to critiques (which I had very very few) and she was such a pleasure to work with. I loved the minor touches to the finalized book which made all the difference and I feel she was also personally invested in my book which says a lot. I can't wait to eventually publish it and brag about the level of skill and dedication this company/Karine have. I have already started a second project and I can't wait to see what they're able to create with my vision. Truly 10/10 stars. I am so glad I found them and I am so glad I didn't just go with anyone for something so important.

Karine and US Illustrations was a great experience for me in my first published Children's book: "I Love You As Much and More Than This." Karine was kind, patient, and was quick to respond on everything. Her illustrations were spot on with my visions, & I have received many compliments about her illustrations. Highly recommend! :)
