My name is Mark Allen and I am a self-taught 35 year old artist
specializing in Fantasy art. Fantasy art is the most enjoyable to me and, I
find, comes most naturally. I use colored pencils, inks, acrylic paints,
watercolors, airbrush, and computer software to create images of
surrealism, high adventure, and the macabre for use in books, magazines,
posters, CD art, T-shirts, cards, games, and much more, including tattoo
art.
Although I've been honing my artistic gift my entire life (religiously
drawing since the age of 3), my work is still considered up and coming
to the public at large and has already been featured worldwide in
several books published by Troll Lord Games (a fantasy role-playing game
company) including 2 books written by Gary Gygax, creator of the legendary
Dungeons & Dragons rpg. In addition, I have also produced two album
covers for Swedish alternative rock band Pheonix Miller, an album cover
for American progressive rock band Postal Fury, an entire CD package and
tour T-shirt designs for Georgia Goth Punk/Metal band Dead Rites and a
soon-to-be-released children's book for Chenault & Grey Publishing
called "How I Became An Archeologist". To date, my artwork permanently
decorates the body parts of many people in the form of customized tattoo
art.
I draw inspiration from the literary and visual likes of P. Craig
Russell, Michael T. Gilbert, Robert E. Howard, Michael Moorcock, Jack Kirby,
J.R.R. Tolkien, Frank Frazetta, Erol Otis, Larry Elmore, and several
other greats of the fantasy genre to conceptualize and produce scenes
that spark the imagination.
Please check out my website to learn more about me and my art, and to
