Hi, I’m Marco, a freelance artist, illustrator, and graphic designer based in Wellington, New Zealand. I’ve been working as an illustrator since 2010 and as a graphic designer since 2020. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of illustrating eight books on New Zealand history in collaboration with writer Maria Gill. One of the highlights of my career was illustrating ANZAC Heroes, which won the “Margaret Mahy Book of the Year” at the New Zealand Book Awards for Children & Young Adults in 2016, along with the Nonfiction Award.
In addition to this, I’ve received several nominations and awards for my illustrations, and I’ve had the opportunity to work on a variety of projects, including book covers, album artwork, and video games.
