Ideas come quickly and projects are delivered swiftly. Have an easy and flexible disposition, stay calm under fire... I am an Illustrator/designer, born in New Zealand, have worked and lived in London, New York and currently Paris. Work at image making in many genres, including applied and fine arts and design. The right project is more important to me than the most paid. Enjoy collaboration. 
Recently commissioned by the legendary graphic designer David Carson, to work on ‘surf stuff for Quiksilver’ David says of my work, “Wow. major!! Great!! love yer illustrations”. I am currently working on a short illustrative story which will be publish as a little ‘lovestory’ and David Carson has agreed to collaborate on this project with me. I am also collaborating on another illustration centric book with NZ author Bill Manhire.

New illustrations posted to my blog weekly. Was posting daily for over a year, recently got the following compliment tweeted by Erik Spiekermann- 'Mark Harfield must have 48 hours in a day. He's been posting a drawing a day for over 9 months now. And they're all good.' 

The New Yorker and The NY Times are among clients. In various forms and under many guises I have worked for many agencies and brands. Small independents through to major corporations. I have much experience working with teams, art directors and fellow creatives, as well as account executives and business owners.
