Available to hire
I’m Marko Hallauer, an Eclectic Illustration graduate with specialist skills in communication design and world-building. I love turning ideas into immersive fictional worlds through concept illustration, narrative writing, and the kind of storytelling that invites people to feel immersed by the setting.
I’ve gained hands-on experience creating illustration and design work for client-based projects, including board-game themed art with strong visual consistency as well as solid story telling illustrations. Alongside my primary focus, I bring practical craft expertise from ceramics, sculpture, textiles, and hand lettering.
