MARCOS CHIN

Recognize this?



I've become a little obsessed with finding out all I can about the artists commissioned for NYC subway art.  This morning I saw the above drawing, photographed the name of the artist on my Blackberry, not the cool iPhone, I did a little research and voila!  

Next up, Marcos Chin!

MARCOS CHIN graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD), in Toronto, Canada. Since then, his work has appeared as surface and wall designs, on book and CD covers, advertisements, fashion catalogues, and magazines. He has received a countless number of awards in the field of illustration, including a gold medal from The Society of Illustrators New York, and Los Angeles, as well as a gold medal from the Society of Publication Designers (SPD). His work has been published in illustration award annuals such as The Society of Illustrators New York and LA, Communication Arts, American Illustration and Applied Arts. Perhaps the most recognizable work amidst his portfolio are the illustrations he has done for Lavalife's international advertising campaign which have appeared on subways, billboards, print and online. Marcos has given lectures throughout the US and abroad, and currently lives in New York, where he teaches Illustration at the School of Visual Arts.
