Marcos Chin graduated from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 1999. His client list has included The New Yorker, Rolling Stone, New York Times, and Sports Illustrated. Award annuals such as The Society of Illustrators, American Illustration, Communication Arts and Applied Arts have recognized his work.
Chin's illustrations have helped brand Lavalife's international advertising campaign, appealing on subways, billboards, print and online. Early this year, these images were animated and shown in London, England's "Trafalgar Square".
"Marcos Chin is one of the most well known illustrators in North America today. You cannot go to a big city in the United State or Canada and not see his Lavalife advertising campaign illustrations. They are all over subways, on billboards, on website banners and in movie theaters. In addition to Lavalife, he works about 100 illustration jobs a year - editorial, fashion, book covers, CD jackets, advertising, and so on." [Excerpted from a Marcos Chin interview by Yuko Shimizu]
