About Martin

 

Martin's distinctive style, an interplay of marks, signs, and symbols has been recognized internationally for its dynamic visual exploration of life and culture. His work spans a diverse media context including album covers, postage stamps, street murals, picture books, visual essays & animated commercials. Martin’s illustrated posters are central to his body of work and are exhibited worldwide.

In 2006 Martin began an association with the Pacific Northwest College of Art where he designed the BFA in Illustration program. He currently serves as department chair.  

A California native, Martin grew up in the Bay Area and is a graduate of ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena. He worked as a design director at Microsoft for 8 years before opening his own studio in 1996.
