Mark Poole
Mark Poole grew up in an Air Force lifestyle of constant moving across America. The only thing consistant in his life was his family, desire to read comics, fantasy and sci fi novels, and drawing. The worlds of Edgar Rice Burroughs, (mainly John Carter of Mars) opened his mind and created a desire in him to create.
Mark began his professional journey doing illustrations for TSR and Dragon magazine along with many small press and independant gaming companies. In 1992 Mark was asked to be part of a small adventure with a small company called Wizards of the Coast. He is one of the original artists for the game “Magic the Gathering” with some of his early cards being: Ancestral Recall, Counterspell, Birds of Paradise, Balance and Library of Alexandria. This opened many doors and companies for him to work with such as: White Wolf, Hasbro, Sony Online Entertainment, Blizzard Entertainment, History Channel, Cirque du Soleil and many others over his 28 year career.
Mark still works in the gaming industry, but is now focusing on his personal visions and gallery paintings. His works explore dream narative and visions which focus on a mood. Most are done in oil. Some can be seen at www.markpoole.net.
