Marc Martin, a Melbourne-based illustrator and children’s book author, has recently completed his new picture book – Max. The book follows a cheeky seagull with a penchant for hot chips.

Drawing on inspiration from his surroundings, Martin transforms visuals into creative narratives using various mediums, including watercolour, marker pen, ink, pencil, textures and computer-based techniques.

In the past, Martin has also written and illustrated: Silent Observer (Erm Books, 2011); A Forest (Penguin Books, 2012); and The Curious Explorers Guide to Exotic Animals A-Z (Penguin Books, 2013).
