About 3x3

3x3 is a series of publications devoted entirely to the worldwide art of contemporary illustration. Published in the United States and distributed worldwide, we are interested in what’s shaping international illustration. Our tri-annual magazine, juried annual, yearly directory and books provide insight into this world.

Our Mission is to preserve, protect and promote illustration in all its forms. First, we want to preserve today’s illustration by producing printed forms of communication enabling future generations to get a glance at what illustrators were doing during this current time period.

Secondly, we want to protect the legacy of the top illustrators in the field. Our interest is in helping the best illustrators advance their careers by offering portfolio reviews, webinars, conferences and affordable books to help illustrators continue to learn and grow.

Lastly, we want to promote in every way possible the importance, viability and uniqueness of using illustration in advertising, editorial, publishing, corporate, institutional, books and animation. Our juried shows and subsequent printed annuals help accomplish this goal. If you love illustration, then you will want to check out our Shop. Also look for us on the newsstands of leading bookstores throughout the US and Canada as well as Europe and Asia.
