Brand new portfolio club!
I’m Lilla Rogers, and I’ve drawn on my 30 years’ experience as an art agent assigning all kinds of top illustration jobs. In my agency’s 30 year history we landed over 13,000 jobs for my represented artists. From chocolate packaging to magazine illustrations to home décor lines for Anthropologie. So I’ve dug through our archives, and with that information I’ve dreamed up brand new and on trend assignments designed to help get you work, inspiring you to make new art relevant for all the top illustration markets.
Get 8 inspiring assignments based on real-world commissions written exactly as you’d get them from a creative director or other client, with fee, deadline, and what to draw (please note, these are fake assignments to get you used to dealing with real-world projects). I can’t wait for you to join me.

Online art courses to help your career in art and design
Since launching in 2013 Make Art That Sells has rapidly gained a reputation for the go-to online art courses for anyone serious about making commercially viable art whilst staying true to themselves.
We have been completely blown away by the response of our participants (many of whom have come back to repeat the online art courses), and have been thrilled to see huge leaps forward in their artwork.
Here are just a few of the kind words that other participants said about the impact the course had on them.
“This is the course you need to do if you want to sell your art to the masses. As far as I know its the only course like this in existence. The information is like gold dust. It’s that valuable! ”
CHANTEL DE SOUSA
“Best investment in your art career, ever.”

“I feel that I have learned fantastic amounts about the industry – information that money can’t buy. I feel that I have a thousand positive ideas in my head and am enjoying pushing them through.”
EMMA BURNETT
“I got some commissions and new works because of some Lilla’s challenges. Now I know I can even do more and can adapt more to client demands.”
