Herb MacDonald (Illustrator)
Born and raised in South Waikato, Herb MacDonald now lives in Titirangi, Auckland. He credits the endless supply of paper at the Tokoroa Paper Mill as the beginning of his love of drawing. His first published drawing (a zebra and a finch) appeared in the NZ Herald when he was seven years old. After a career in advertising, including running his own design business for the last 15 years, he is excited to be rediscovering his passion for illustration.
