About Mark

I am an award winning 3D digital artist and illustrator living in Scotland with my wife and our young son. My specialisation is generating 3D renders with a traditional media aesthetic to create playful, unsentimentalised , evocative and dreamlike images for children and adults alike. I have created works for BBC TV, British Airways, Elle Magazine, Sony, The Times, Maddona and many others.

I see my 3D work as a linear continuation of my pre-digital work. Maintaining a simultaneous respect and disrespect for the medium of 3D is important to me for within all it's technical challenges, the essence of what constitutes a pleasing image remains the same for both digital and traditional mediums.
