Mark Hannon

I’ve been involved in Art and Design throughout my life... from roots in creating primary school comics, secondary school influences from my art teacher father, through to an Honours degree (2.1) in Scientific and Technical Graphics (including a 1st for Thesis: 'The use of Cartoons in Education").
My professional life has been spent shared between broadcast TV graphics/animation, commercial illustration and painting.
My style of work is as varied as my subject matter and chosen media...ranging from acrylics, watercolour, charcoal, and pen and ink.
I have a cartoonist’s interest in politics and current affairs and enjoy the possibilities of blending art with humour to encapsulate a concept in some quirky way. I’ve been very fortunate to have had some of my recent acrylic paintings selected for exhibitions in various National Art Societies in the past few years, including the Royal Society of British Artists, and 'The Artist' Magazine.
