Spotlight: Megan McKenzie

Hi my name is Megan, and I'm a Toronto-based freelance illustrator. Having grown up in the city, I attended the Ontario College of Art and Design to eventually graduate with a Bachelor of Design in illustration. When not hunched over my drawing table, you can find me immersed in a book, playing with my ever-growing toy collection or zipping around the streets on my longboard.

I tend to get sick of things quickly. This factor, in combination with a need to get my hands dirty, has led me to work in mixed media – everything from spray paint to collage to watercolour can be found in my studio. I have a strong fascination with intricate patterns, albino animals and the Dark Arts, and am currently in love with the work of Aurel Schmidt, Matt Leines and Shary Boyle. One day, I would like to test my hand at wallpaper design, and developing graphics for snowboards, longboards and skateboards.
