The Richard Salzman Group has undergone somewhat of a transformation over the last three years. He has added a number of new illustrators to his group, all of whom are non-domestic and primarily European. Richard prefers to represent illustrators who are visual storytellers with the solid ability to interpret complex subject matter.
