About Mark Guthrie
A Fine Arts degree majoring in Drawing and a Visual Arts degree majoring in Illustration led to working in the UK as a Graphic Artist with ITV Channel 4 and then in animation with Walt Disney Animation Australia in Sydney. Most 2D sequels were made in Sydney, so his film credits include virtually every Disney film that has a 2 or 3 in its title. During his time with Disney Mark continued to work as a freelance Illustrator/Cartoonist, eventually leaving Disney to pursue his career (passion) on a full-time basis; therefore, children's book illustration and newspaper/magazine illustration and cartooning are his mainstay in keeping me in 2B pencils. Publishers Mark has also worked with Scholastic Australia, Koala Books, Blake Education, Pearson Education, Transworld Publishers and Cengage Learning.
