Mark Beech uses a traditinal pen and ink style combined with photoshop to create his images. I love Mark's work and find his images utterly charming. He is a very busy ilustrator so we are thrilled that he managed to find time to create an image especially for us with the theme of property slump (below) - which is coming soon to www.moodboard.com.
You have a lovely whimsical style which I imagine is very popular for books and book covers, is this where you get most of your work?
Yes most of my work is for book covers and for children’s books. I have however worked on food packaging projects, advertising and have also done some animation work too.
Do you have a favourite project you’ve worked on you could tell us about?
I have lots of favourite projects. I am currently working on a picture book for Bloomsbury but its under wraps until its published later this year. I have worked on a couple of posters this year that I like very much so will send you copies of them. One was for a childrens version of Macbeth and the other for a production of the little Mermaid.
What would you like to accomplish next in your career?
Accomplishment wise, this year I am looking very much into working on a series of books in the US. In addition to this I would really like to work in other countries particularly in Asia so am looking to get my UK agent to push my work in that market too.
