llustration Research is a network of academics and practitioners with the purpose of promoting the cultural significance of illustration, and to create opportunities to share research into and through illustration.
Our sister publication is the peer reviewed Journal of Illustration

Now out Journal of Illustration 11.2 !
Edited by dr. Jaleen Grove.
This journal presents papers resulting from the international collaboration, and artistic research project Illuminating the Non-Representable, coordinated and led by professor of illustration, Hilde Kramer. This cross disciplinary project, over a period of three years, delivered a range of symposia and projects exploring the boundaries of representation now and in the past, but also the role of illustration in breaking taboos or revealing truths. The project brought a wealth of papers resulting in Volume 11 consisting of two issues ( issue 2 out early 2025)
