Welcome
Welcome to the illopond, a website set up to aid a group of illustrators collaborate over the internet. The community is free to join so come and look through what we have achieved so far, get involved in a project or even take the helm of your own!
Through collaboration, critique and the pooling of knowledge we hope to grow as creative people, improve our work and, most importantly, help each other reach shared goals.Featured Member
