neutral  jsl (X): "Illustration" is part of arts, but not "arts" as a whole, using "illustrators" would be misleading. Also, the spelling of "illustratos" is not correct.
3 hrs
  -> "Science illustrator" has about 1,050 Google hits.
agree  kats: I agree with use of "Illustrator." But let me propose another wording.

agree  puraisu: I think the term illustrator is the most accurate one here.

Explanation:
I know this wording will not be preferred. But let me participate for my study, since this site includes lots of interesting translation practices, technigues, philosophy, etc.

They don't have HP, and may not have an English name. In that case, would pronouncing the Japanese name and putting your english translation in [ ] be an option, indicating that is a interpreter's own wording, not the official one?

What they do is basically the same as the second site organization, although it works for museum. Science Art may be broader. I can not imagine they think their pictures are sold independently from textbooks etc.

I am just wondering, 理科 sounds like textbook, as it is a subject taught at elementary and junior high schools. At high school it¥'s divided into sub-categorirs: chemistry, biology,etc. 理科 might be a translation of English word ¥"science¥".
