Mark loves serving the world best by embracing the qualities that make him who he is. Helping other people bring their imagination to life by either empowering them to do so or through his own hand. It just feels amazing to express each new vision in a way that words simply cannot.

Growing up predominantly in Washington state Mark found solace and joy in expressing his own thoughts about the world around him on restaurant napkins, scraps of printer paper, or any other material that he could use a ballpoint pen on! He discovered for himself how freeing it was to share with his friends and family with an image the complicated concepts he needed to express, and seeing the looks on their faces when they understood demonstrated Mark was working with a powerful skill....

...And so it happens to be that Mark's mission has become one of 'bringing smiles for miles through the activity of putting your ideas to life one sketch at a time as well as imparting those same skills to those who want to improve. Mark has a vision and a purpose to share his skills and passion for sketchbooking with you.
