Clients: Coca Cola, Fidelity, Google, Intel, McDonald’s, Ralph Lauren, and Time Warner. My work has appeared in The Atlantic, Forbes, and Wall Street Journal. I've had the good fortune to create humor and illustrations for books published by Pearson, Penguin-Random House, Macmillan, Prentice Hall, Harvard Business Review Press, including several bestsellers. A small percentage of my work comes from Upwork, (the majority are repeat clients, and referrals from my agent.) For this reason, I am selective, and bid on projects for which I feel I can do excellent work. Part of UpWork's “Expert-Vetted” group, which is invitation-only to the top 1% of professionals. The best cartoons are more than just artwork. They depend upon funny concepts and writing. If you already have ideas for cartoons that you would like illustrated, I can give you publishing quality artwork to bring them to life. If you also need concepts and/or humor writing, I can help, (or assist by adding some verbal WD-40 to your existing ideas.) I am a published humor writer, and many of my clients hire me to create humor and concepts for advertising, publishing and presentations. I also have an experienced 2D animator and storyboard artist on my team. ———- ♾️ “Mark did an absolutely fantastic job illustrating my book. Better yet, he was a pleasure to work with--a model of professionalism and high standards." —Daniel Pink, New York Times Bestselling Author ♾️ "The cartoons Mark created for us to advertise our new technology have received a huge response." -- Randy Harrel, Vice President, Director of Marketing, CISCO SYSTEMS. ♾️ "Mark: I so appreciate your help through the process of creating cartoons for my book and its promotional tour. While I’ve been working other New Yorker cartoonists, I’ve relied most heavily on you. I think your capacity to capture an idea visually is akin to magic." - Author, Gary Hamel. "Humanocracy", published by Harvard Business Review Press Recent highlights: Created a series of humorous cartoons for Google. Hired by Intel Corporation to design and create a series of animated commercials to introduce a new technology. Worked with Time Warner to design and create a cartoon spokesmen for their advertising.

Aloha! I am an art director, illustrator and designer, specializing in making awesome stuff for kids. Creating fun and engaging apps, games, books, and magazines has been my focus for over ten years and I absolutely love doing it. My goal is to give kids respect by making products that are meaningful, high quality, inspiring, and a little weird. I love both sides of a creative project: creating expressive and imaginative art and the technical nuts-and-bolts of making it work. I have worked in print and digital in teams small and large, I've seen it all and relish every problem that needs a creative solution. I'm looking for projects that need a creative and technical problem solver, that aim to make something fun and positive, and are maybe a little weird. Let's make something fun together!
