Revealing The AOI Mentees 2024

That’s right, the time has come to introduce this year’s AOI mentees!

Now in its 5th year, The AOI Mentorship Scheme is designed to promote and increase diversity in all areas of our industry. Each mentee is offered a series of 1-1 meetings with their respective Illustrator or Agent mentor, providing valuable support and helping them get closer to achieving their individual goals.

We want to wholeheartedly thank all the illustrators who applied to this year’s call. It’s been inspiring for our small team to review so many portfolios and backgrounds, not to mention a huge challenge to narrow more than 200 applications down to just over 20!

The following 21 mentees were chosen based on the strength of their applications, portfolios, experiences, and potential to grow with the support and expertise of our mentors.


Meet the mentees!

Congratulations to all mentees! We will be sharing more of our mentees’ progress in the coming months, so make sure to follow us on Instagram to never miss an update.

See more of their works and who they’ll be mentored by on our Mentorship page. You can also meet all our mentors here.

The AOI Mentorship scheme is possible thanks to the support of our members.
