If your in the Philadelphia area there are still two more receptions to attend on October 8th and October 22nd, both 5-10 pm.


Thanks,

Here is a quick sketch I did the other day at home on my moleskine (always with me). There is something dark and sad about this character, but I like it.

    Some Recent Sketch-Cards

    Hello Sugar-Frosted Good-people! Mark here - I haven't posted in a long long while. In fact, I think it's been almost a full year! Here's what I've been up to lately: 1) I attended FanExpo in Toronto as an exhibiting artist this past August - my good friend Lance Sawyer and I premiered our first comic, Dreadful. I'm happy to say it sold out completely. 2) I've been doing a heckuvalot of sketch cards for a number of companies including 5Finity, SadLittles, Breygent and, most recently, Topps and Lucasfilms! I just finished up 100 cards for the Clone Wars: Rise of the Bounty Hunters series, as well as 24 cards for 5Finity's Hack/Slash series. Here are some of my most recent cards!

    If anyone out there is interested in commissioning me, I've got eight (8) Zombies Vs. Cheerleaders returns left; ten (10) Damsels & Dinosaurs; nine (9) Rantz Angels and four (4) Mixtape. The Mixtape cards are already finished. My rates are as follows: All individual cards are $25.00 each; the last card in each set will go for $40.00. My Mixtape returns range from $30.00 to $80.00. I will only be getting three (3) retuns back for Hack/Slash - one of which is already spoken for - they will be $66.00 each. I will only be getting six (6) returns back from Clone Wars: Rise of the Bounty Hunters, and they will be going for a minimum of $100.00 each. For more information on how to contact me, and to see more of my stuff, I invite you to check out my blog and deviantart websites! Thanks for looking!

    Trunk Show


    I wanted to draw something difficult. Yun and I were staying at a house on a lake in the Berkshires. We were in the middle of the woods. It was a little rainy and I was searching for something to draw. I was attracted to the trees. If you really sit and stare at bark, it is so intricate. It can be very challenging to draw, especially the way that I do. The trees were not laid out like that. I would choose one tree and draw it. Then I'd walk and find another and then draw that one. I was composing as I went along. There was moss covering all the rocks. It was a nice little touch to tie the drawing together. I'm so used to drawing cities. I feel nervous in the woods. Deep down I know the Texas chainsaw massacre guy is lurking about out there somewhere. He is sitting quietly in the dark watching me knowing I can't see him.

    Power Cat And Iron Paw

    I didn't think I wold do another one of these, but dang, they are fun. So I tackled one of my favorite heroes, Iron Fist. And of course, I had to throw in Luke Cage for good measures. Hope you dig.

    Gam-Cat?!

    So there's this insanely wild Twitter meme going on now where a lot of Artist's, including some of my favorites, are turning Marvel comics characters into... Cats! Even Dogs!
    So, yeah. I had to join in the fun. Although, I'm not sold on the name.

    Atom Eve!

    I've been reading Invincible, albeit at a slooow pace, but it's been very entertaining so far. I've gotten the chance to draw Invincible before, but never Atom Eve. This is by far, my favortie sketch card commission. I need more collectors to commission me to draw more Atom Eve cards. 

    Come on folks. Where are my Atom Eve peeps?!

    lol.

    E.T. and Catman

    For this sketch card commission, I was given the freedom to draw my favorite child hood movie character. This one was tough because there's quite a few. Regardless, in the end, I settled on the most magical one of them all, E.T. I remember the sense of awe and enjoyment I had as a child watching this movie for the first time. All I know is that after the movie, I wanted my own Extra Terrestrial from another plant running loose in my house :)

    And of course, I had to draw another first, Catman, which was cool too.
