ABOUT ME
Mark Conlan is an illustrator hailing from Dublin (Ireland), with a studio based Melbourne's sunny southern suburbs.
ABOUT MEMark’s ability to distil a concept down to its visual essence is what sets him apart, affording him the privilege of working with some of the worlds most recognisable brands.
His characteristic whimsical style is both unique and playful, accentuated by his bold use of colour in full spectrum and limited palettes.
Mark brings colour to every project, whatever the purpose or occasion. Telling rich stories through illustration and animation, his hand drawn techniques and digital illustrations add vibrant life to any campaign or project.
Mark seeks to break out of the confines of digital artwork, shifting his creative focus to physical media. He often experiments with non-traditional illustrated works, recently producing a series of hand-painted vases accompanied by large scale canvas pieces. Whether you're seeking a traditional creative approach or lateral thinking that can elevate your project, Mark would love to chat.
Please feel free to get in touch with me for collaborations or even if you would like to have a chat.

"Working with Mark was one of the best and easiest experiences I've ever had collaborating with an illustrator. Despite the huge time difference and tight deadline, he delivered strong, highly conceptual sketches and turned them into gorgeous, polished illustrations with plenty of time to spare. His command of composition and colour is unparalleled, and on top of it all, he's super professional and wonderful to work with. I would recommend him to anyone who needs an illustrator in a heartbeat!"

Client Testimonials
"Mark was a true pleasure to collaborate with. He is engaged, incredibly creative, open to feedback and quick with revisions. We can't wait to work with him again!!"
Jody Owens, Design Producer, Stripe, San Francisco
"Mark is a solid creative with great ability. He was proactive, engaged and worked collaboratively with our team throughout the whole process. Mark is confident in his vision which makes him a pleasure to work with. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending him and look forward to our next project together!"
Taylor Cope Wallace, Art Director, Guardian Australia
"I loved getting to collaborate with Mark. His work is not only unique but beautiful. His approach to texture, characters, color, and composition make him stand out from other artists out there. If you look through his work you can see that through the selection of subject matter, he can clearly tell a story in a single frame. Beyond the obvious that his work is amazing, (as you can see in his portfolio), Mark is an outstanding professional that I'd hope to work with again and again."
Seth Eckert, Creative Director, The Furrow, Kentucky
"Mark is a super creative, collaborative and confident Illustrator that was a breathe of fresh air to work with. He listened carefully and fully understood the needs of my business requirements, often adding gentle suggestions during the project to ensure that that we stayed on brand. The quick-turn and transparent approach during the process was very much appreciated. Looking forward to the next collaboration for Agency Iceberg!"
