Alex has always been a pleasure to work with, he is focused on a high-quality of illustration work and has a clear focus and a good understanding of business in the illustration and design world. Alex is one of those lucky people who is not only talented in illustration, but also in writing and uses both skills to a wonderful extent."

"Alex's zesty Red Lemon advice is not difficult to take on board - he's ace at setting it at the perfect level for every individual - it's because he has such a great grasp on making each and everyone of us feel unique.
He helps to explain why making behavioral changes, one step at a time, can provide heaps of confidence where you might feel you lack it. Virtual Assistants can benefit from taking a leaf out of Alex's book: he knows how to promote his work and he'll share his insight so that you too can promote your work, find recognition, sales, and ultimately decent clients.”
Rhianne M Griffiths, Graphic Artist
"A last minute low-res image on a recent project prompted me to trial twitter as a search tool for illustrators. It was here that I discovered Alex and a link to his portfolio on http://alexmathers.net. The fact that Alex was London-based didn’t slow down the delivery process.
He responded quickly to my DM and as a result he provided a quality vector illustration ready for print. If you are after quality original illustration work I’d recommend contacting Alex.”
Simon Eathorne, Studio Manager at AIM Proximity

His blog, the Red Lemon Club, is an invaluable source of tips and articles for the creative entrepreneur, and his recently released e-book, 10 steps to Powerful Online Self Promotion for Creatives, is a truly comprehensive map absolutely full of step-by-step suggestions for establishing your presence on the web- it is a purchase that I am very pleased with. I have come across this level of detail nowhere else.”
