I haven't done much animation since my Sophomore and Junior years at Parsons, but have been wanting to get back into it. I made these gifs using the Procreate App.
Recently I illustrated seven pieces for Flaunt Magazine’s Columns Feature, including a two-page introductory spread to the Feature. Published both online and in print.

My name is Madeline McMahon. I am a Boston born illustrator who graduated from Parsons School of Design in May of 2017 with a BFA in Illustration.
This News section of my website will be used to document my illustration process for personal and professional projects, and to share announcements, such as awards, publications, features, etc. It might also feature some thoughts/opinions about the books I’m reading (mostly inspired sketches—no lengthy book reviews, I promise), and other sources of inspiration.
The next few posts will be a bit dated, featuring updates from earlier this year. But, hey, maybe they’ll be new to you.
In the meantime, please enjoy this carousel of personal illustrations I made in the last two months or so:
