Welcome to MP Graphics

 


     Hello and Welcome to MP Graphics. The Name is a play off of what my name, Mark Payton and the fact that I was an MP in the Texas State Guard. Most of my work is based off the fact that I learned visual communications back in the 80's - all by hand. It is still the way approach all of my work, however I have taken the time to learn how to use the current digital tools. My work has been used for the Army, Navy and Airforce, The Landmark Society of Western NY, The Boy Scouts of America, The Salvation Army any many other private commissions. Over the years I have developed a good handle on many different styles to fit the needs of my clients.

Podcast Interview about my life and career as an artist

 So - Several weeks ago I agreed to an interview with the Director of Writers and Illustrators of the Future. I was one of the the illustrator winners back in 2009. It was a fun week in Hollywood in a seminar with some of the biggest names in Sci-Fi Writing and Illustrating, learning the basic ins and outs of publishing as a writer or illustrator. It was a highlight of my life and I enjoyed every moment of it. Here is the the link to the interview.
