Astound Us Inc

Astound US Inc. has been a leader in global artist representation since 2014. Our international team operates worldwide, with a strong presence in English-speaking countries and sales reaching from Australia to South America and across the EU. We have offices in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and London. At Astound, our goal is to be the premier agency for contemporary children's book illustration, illustrator-author IP, licensing, and commercial art. We strive for excellence in all aspects of our work, from our state-of-the-art website to in-person presentations, project management, and invoicing. We excel by maintaining a positive, can-do attitude, and we take pride in our strong personal relationships with both our clients and our artists. We believe these qualities lead to outstanding outcomes. We promise our artists career advancement with the right client fit, regular creative guidance, and direct connections with clients. We are very proud of our track record in bringing to market illustrator-authored literary concepts. Unlike traditional literary agencies, which often struggle to secure illustration commissions, our illustrators can develop their own valuable intellectual property while also obtaining illustration commissions from the world's leading art buyers in creative advertising, editorial, packaging, games, decorative art for products, greeting cards, stationery, calendars, apparel, and, of course, publishing. Our commitment to transparency extends to our administrative processes and support. At Astound, we operate a world-first payment system that enables our talent to view when their fees have been remitted by clients. These funds are collected in separate accounts, isolated from the agency's cash flow, ensuring clarity about when payments will be made. We aim to be number one and strive for excellence in everything we do. Join us as we seek to achieve astounding outcomes.
