Mark Texeira

Fine Art painter and sequential storyteller has been putting his stamp on the comics industry for some time now with astounding success with top-selling runs on such titles as "Ghost Rider," "Black Panther," "Moonknight" and more.

A native of New York and alumni of the famous Art & Design High School in Manhattan, Mark studied under the guidance of painters Max Ginsburg and Irwin Greenberg, and was granted the Presidential Scholarship at the renowned School of Visual Arts. Later, he studied under portrait painter David Leffel at the Art Students League. It wasn't long before Mark won mentions at the Salmagundi Club and Society of Illustrators for his oil paintings, which sparked interest and work in the form of cover assignments for books, magazines and record albums involving such properties as Remo Williams, Buckaroo Banzai and Public Enemy.

Some of his continuing clients include: New York Magazine; Scholastic Books; MCI Records; Def Jam Records; Marvel Entertainment; D.C. Publications; Harris Publications; Wizards Of The Coast; Wizard Magazine; Image Publications; Black Bull Entertainment; Continuity Associates; and Fleer/Skybox International.

Mark will be the focus of a new retrospective art book from Vanguard Productions entitled: "Tex: The Art of Mark Texeira--The Artists Great Escape" due out later this year, as well as a new sketch book from Eva Ink!
