Ahoy-hoy!!







Welcome to my sketchblog. I'll be using this mainly as a place to post artwork and updates about what's going on with my life, mainly my progress towards being a published artist. As of right now I've quit my 9 to 5 job and am currently taking care of my three-month-old daughter. I use what little time is left of my day to further my career in the art field with hopes of either self-publishing my own comic book or getting work from an established company. I am also doing commission work and any inquiries can be sent to themarkroberts@hotmail.com concerning that.

I am most comfortable with a pencil and paper but have lately been moving more and more into digital stuff involving Photoshop and Painter. With the wealth of tutorials available on the internet; learning these programs hasn't been terribly difficult. In addition to experimenting digitally I've been hard at work updating my portfolio to present to editors, writing my own comic, and am putting together a small sample sketchbook which I will be handing out at local Sacramento comic-cons. The first of these cons takes place on May 3rd, which also happens to be Free Comic Book Day, and I will have a table there.

The works above are examples of recent work.
