SILVER AWARD Entertainment/Visual Development
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mark Borgions (1967) received a graphic design degree at Sint Lucas Antwerp in 1989. He built a career working on major brands and campaigns, further developing his design, typography and motion design skills. But it did not take all that long before he realized his focus should be not only on graphic design, but also — and maybe even more so — on illustration and animation. In 2002 he started handmade monsters to do exactly that.
In his homeland of Belgium, he made a name with a bestselling series of audio plays packaged in picture books. To date, he has illustrated over 30 children’s books. Yet to an international audience, Mark Borgions is best known for his more adult oriented pop culture work. He has worked with major entertainment brands and is a regular force in the Los Angeles pop gallery art scene.
He is represented by Lemonade Illustration Agency
