I am a creative director, art director and 2D animator specializing in explainer videos about science, medicine & technology, though I produce animations for any kind of business in almost any kind of style. I have also taken on Adobes Character Animator for the last 6 years. As a commercial art director and illustrator for over thirty years, I draw all original art.

For over thirty years as an illustrator, I have been working in the advertising, design and journalism fields. For thirty years I've been on the Mac, and for the last twenty years I have specialized in 2D animated web presentations, especially for commercial companies, conservation organizations and the medical field. Clients have included WHO, UN, UNICEF, Microbicide Trials Network, US Soybean Board, Nike, Columbia, USDAF, Rolls Royce, Saab, Coca Cola, State DNRs, British Airways, Boeing, among many other brands, both famous and obscure. My rates are based on $1000 per minute of completed animation, including music, sound effects, voice over and final HD ready video. email me at: _Email not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ Please visit my website at _Website not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup_ for a wide variety of subjects and styles to browse. I work in Adobe After Effects, Animate, Illustrator, Flash, Photoshop and Dragonframe. I am a Grammy nominated musician (2008), and I drew the Coke bottle in the digital version of the Coca-Cola logo (1992). I have won many awards for information graphics and illustration, particularly while working for five years at the Atlanta Journal and Constitution during the Olympic Games era. I have also worked for every major advertising agency in the US and have been published in every major newspaper. Thank you for your time, Mark
