Benjamin Cox
Illustration Agency
London
Once upon a time there was an illustrator. Somebody started to take out his folio and seven other illustrators thought they’d like that somebody to take out their folios too. Eight illustrators became eighty illustrators, the somebody became several people, the whole lot became the Central Illustration Agency.
Ben Cox - runs the agency and has been representing artists since 1998. As well as taking a strategic hold on things he still likes grabbing a ringing phone and is as happy dealing with commissions as he is handling special projects.
Like everyone at CIA Ben comes from an art school background and initially managed an illustration gallery before becoming an agent. He heads a creative CIA team who as well as collaborating with the bold and the beautiful of the global commissioning market, also create regular in-house projects to challenge and bring together the agency's international stable of artists, most notably our recent book License to Inspire. He loves his wife and the Welsh Rugby team!
