Cover image by Paul Blow About 3x3 3x3 is the first magazine devoted entirely to the art of contemporary illustration. We take an in-depth look at the art and environment of three illustrators. We explore their influences. How they work with clients. How they got their first big break. Each article is written by a fellow illustrator who knows exactly what our audience wants to hear. From the US to Europe, Asia or wherever, we’ll stay tuned to what’s going on in the world of illustration.
