About Mark Hammermeister

I’m a digital painter and humorous illustrator from the Detroit area who grew up on a steady diet of Mad Magazine, monster movies and everything Star Wars or Star Trek. I’ve been drawing all my life, but it wasn’t until a few years ago, after moving from one graphic design job to the next, that I decided to focus on developing my skills as a painter and become a professional illustrator. Since then, my career has really taken off and my work has received worldwide acclaim. I’ve done work globally for advertising, packaging and editorial. I’ve had paintings in multiple gallery shows and I’ve been very fortunate to claim some fantastic clients as well, including Playboy Magazine, LucasFilm, Paramount Pictures, Hanna Barbera Animation Studios, Citibank, The New York Observer, The Mortgage Observer, The Commercial Observer, 3X3, Leader’s Edge, ImagineFX, HorrorHound Magazine, HOW Magazine, ABN AMRO, C-Ville, The Celestial Teapot, The Browser, and the Nashville City Paper, among others.
