Stock-industry executive Tim Lund and Début Art founder Andrew Coningsby have announced the London launch of contemporary illustration collection Ikon Images. During his 25-year career, Lund has worked with Digital Vision, Getty Images and Masterfile. Coningsby represents a number of established illustrators, sits on the board of The UK Association of Illustrators and runs a gallery.
The two believe that the current volumes of readily available photography make it important to deliver distinctive images—such as a 1,000-image illustration collection that spans vector, pen and ink, collage, photo-collage, letterpress typography and computer graphics. Initially distributed by Corbis and Masterfile, Ikon is seeking additional partners.
