Mark is an American born in 1976. He's been laying low as a freelance artist, taking on commissions for over 10 years and has been creating art for over 20 years.
Not entirely self taught( if such a thing even exists.We all learn from each other and our environments).
This site lists only a small amount of the work Mark has created. His work ranges from the more abstract, symbolic, whimsical, and surreal to a more down to earth illustrative/conceptual/practical approach. Since so many metal bands have recently requested 'dark' subject matter for their projects, that may seem to be his main area of interest, which simply isn't true. Time has a way of boxing us into someone else's niche if we're not careful, and that's exactly what has happened with Mark's work. He's very aware of this though and plans on getting back outside the box and being more himself in the near future.
Please show some support and buy a print, and maybe one day he'll have more free time to 'do his thing' without needing to take requests that restrict his capabilities due to the limitations of other people's ideas and time/budget constraints.
