I discovered the Colagene agency and the graphic clinic a few years ago and I found that, as a passionate of illustration and graphic design, this concept is extremely rich and interesting. The range of artists represented by Colagene is varied and often offers a solution for my projects. I systematically visit the clinic’s website everytime I need to research for a brand I work for.

From the beginning I regarded Colagene as one of my favorite illustrator agencies. I love the variety of their artists and, always important to a photo editor, the people at Colagene are always friendly and helpful.
