About The Pick
Established in 1992, The Alternative Pick commenced with a clear mission, providing creative buyers with a vehicle to source the best brightest and most exciting illustrators, photographers, graphic designers and animators in the business.
The Alternative Pick sourcebook (1992-2005) became the outlet for cutting-edge commercial talent, offering a unique platform for artists to showcase their work.
The Alternative Pick Deck (2009-2012) offered a fun and engaging format for locating leading commercial artists.
In addition, The Altpick Awards (2003-2011) introduced yet another way to provide a platform for talents to shine.
To meet the demands of an ever-changing industry, Altpick.com was launched in 1996 and presently provides a vehicle for talent to utilize the web to connect more effectively with buyers.
As we mark our 34th anniversary in 2026, Altpick.com remains a premier source for creative professionals and we plan to continue to push the envelope providing the best vehicle for buyers to connect with creative talent.
In our 2nd installment of “Altpick Members’ 2020: A Year In Review,” we are taking a look at the creative work our members produced between May-August in 2020. With the unusual circumstances we all had to deal with in this … Continue reading →
