Direct from the artist

Every Suburban Icon begins with Mark's own photography before being carefully illustrated and refined in our Yarraville studio. From the first idea to the final print, every detail is created with care.

PLACES WITH A STORY

From world-famous landmarks to beloved suburban favourites, each artwork captures the stories, character and emotional connections that make a place special.

DESIGNED IN MELBOURNE BY MARK MACDONALD

I'm a Yarraville-based graphic designer, but my fascination with Melbourne started when I was growing up in the country. Every trip to Melbourne felt like stepping into another world. I was the kid crashing into things whilst looking up at buildings. I still do it today.

Suburban Icons brings together that curiosity with my love of graphic identity and vintage travel posters, distilling the places, stories and details that make Melbourne recognisable and worth noticing.

Places change. Buildings evolve. Views disappear. But the feelings we attach to them can last forever.

HOW A PLACE BECOMES A SUBURBAN ICON

Every Suburban Icon begins with a place, a story and a search for the perfect moment. The process starts with understanding what makes a location special, finding the right perspective and capturing the atmosphere that gives it character. From there, the original photograph becomes the foundation for a carefully considered illustration. Mark's role is not to recreate every detail, but to discover what matters most, removing distractions and highlighting the visual elements that make a place instantly recognisable.

I had been looking for a cool print to put in an empty frame on my wall for ages. Nothing particularly grabbed me until I found the milkbar print. Ordered online and it was delivered to me in a couple of days and in perfect condition. Absolutely love it. Thanks

Ordered a poster for my cousin this week as a house warming gift . She received the package today and was absolutely delighted and completely gobsmacked. She’s been having trouble acclimatising to Melbourne so the gift helped. Excellent customer service! 10000 percent well done

My personal favourite is the old Milk Bar which brings back great memories as a kid. Friends and family have taken a likening to the artwork and designs for their own homes and businesses.
