About me

Mark Franklin was born in Swindon, Wiltshire, in 1962. His passion for drawing was evident from an early age and, influenced by the illustrations in his books and comics, specialised in technical subjects.

Joining the prestigious School of Technical Illustration at Bournemouth & Poole College of Art & Design in 1981, Mark was introduced to the Photo-Realist movement in Pop Art. Influenced by Philip Castle and Michael English, amongst others, he mastered the art of airbrush illustration, along with the exacting geometry of perspective theory.
