It is a legitimately formed term, combining "illustration" and the suffix "-ist". But, since the term "illustrator" exists and is commonly used, that is preferred. You might still want to use "illustrationist" in some cases since it tends to imply a more exceptional talent than the mundane "illuatrator".

  It's a bit like that John Wayne movie called "The Shootist" rather than "The Shooter" (or "The Gunslinger"). It has some novelty value.

Yes, you are correct. You should use illustrator. The artiest who express their thoughts through illustration is called Illustrator.

illustrator

Excerpt from Wikipedia:

An illustrator is an artist who specializes in enhancing writing or elucidating concepts by providing a visual representation that corresponds to the content of the associated text or idea.

Illustrationist is grammatically correct, but not a vogue word.
