Varoom is the journal of illustration published by the Association of Illustrators (AOI), the UK's leading professional body for illustration. The publication covers contemporary illustration practice with critical depth and visual generosity, treating illustration not as a service industry for publishing and advertising but as an independent art form with its own history, its own theory, and its own capacity to shape how we see the world.
Each issue features portfolios, essays, interviews, and critical writing that examine illustration from every angle — editorial, commercial, fine art, political, scientific, and narrative. The contributors include practising illustrators, critics, historians, and commissioners, producing a publication that serves the profession while also making a compelling case for illustration's cultural importance to anyone willing to listen.
