I'm Mark, I write comics, and this is #PortfolioDay.
I write comics about people in fantastic situations processing real emotions.
My first MG OGN is out next year, and I am pursuing more MG and YA work. Particularly children's fantasy like Earthsea and Prydain.

🥳🎁 Today is my birthday and the best gift you could give me is gifting yourself (or a loved one) a copy of ABUZZ! 💖🐝 Second best gift would be leaving the book a nice review on a platform of your choosing if you're so inclined. 🙏
I'm so grateful for the love and support you've all shown this year!

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.
