Mark Kaufman

Short Version: Put Mark Kaufman in a time machine. Set the controls for 1978 when he entered the School of Visual Arts. Ply him with Quaaludes and White Russians, ask him what he wants to do in 35 years. He’ll say he wants to be a graphic designer. He wants to win awards from The Society of Illustrators, American Corporate Identity, Society of Publication Designers and Print Magazine. He wants to illustrate for The New York Times, The Progressive and The Stranger. He wants to serve on the boards of AIGA Seattle and ICON The Illustration Conference. Set the controls for now. He’ll tell you he’s done these things and wants to do more.
