Hi, I’m Mark A. Lee, a hands-on airbrush artist and designer with a lifelong passion for portraits, comic-style art, and custom designs. I’ve spent years creating stock designs and personalized artwork for clients, blending traditional brush-and-ink techniques with digital tools like FireAlpaca, Sketchbook, and GIMP. Alongside my art, I’ve worked in logistics at FedEx Ground (2020–2022) and have formal training from Neoga High School, Lake Land College, and the Joe Kubert World of Cartooning program. In 2023 I completed a Graphic Design Specialization through California Institute of the Arts on Coursera.
