Lauren Martin

Multi-talented Lauren Martin is an illustrator and lifelong New Yorker whose artwork is inspired by the humor and joy that can be found in day-to-day life. Best known for her signature anthropomorphic characters, Lauren’s illustrations bring life to clothing, merchandise, ad campaigns, and the pages of leading newspapers and magazines. Her successful ongoing collaboration with Uniqlo has brought her designs to stores across the United States. Last year’s edition of City Parks SummerStage saw Lauren’s posters plastered around her hometown—from the subway to Times Square. And hawk-eyed readers will notice her work in the New York Times, Washington Post, New York Magazine, and more. Prior to her career in illustration, she Lauren toured the world playing keyboard in the indie rock band Frankie Cosmos.
