In his early career, he drew a host of products for black-and-white bromide reproduction in newspapers and catalogues for a major retailer. He then reproduced pictorial headings and diagrams and illos for magazine work for 10 years. Mark went into an career in adult education but has always maintained his creative and design work, namely black-and-white art, painting kids murals and caricature, in which he's always had a passion and he considers a form of social commentary.
