About Me

My name is Mark Holmes. This is my...space. Blah...Blah...blah, me me me.....what the hell? When did I become this self absorbed, ego centric, coffee drinking, skittle eating, pseudo-intellectual, shit spinning whore monger???? To put it quite simply, I love to draw.... it monopolizes 99.9% of my freetime. Please look at my art and tell me what you think... You can always check back here to see new artwork, sample scripts and story arcs and concept pages.. as well as finished work as soon as i get them up........oh yeah, and if you don't mind, i may ask you for opinions, direction and preference on stuff i'm up to from time to time.....Please be brutal, when people are nice and encourging, that's cool, but it gets me off to have someone REALLY tell me what they think....-wyrdtaste the rainbowI edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
