Mark Todd

Like many kids raised in the 70's, Mark was influenced at an early age by Star Wars and comic books.

He graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California and currently lives and works in the Los Angeles area with his wife, artist Esther Pearl Watson, their daughter Lili, and two French Bulldogs, Mr. Pickles and Gherkin.
