MARK ELLENDER<br />
Spread the Word slot of VL#136, holding his <strong>Viva</strong>,<br />
of course.<br />
Mark produces bespoke paintings and murals to<br />
commission, as well as smaller scale illustrated<br />
works. He has also designed and illustrated a children’s<br />
book series. Until now his work has predominantly<br />
been in acrylic on canvas, because of<br />
its fast-drying nature, which allows his hands to<br />
keep up with his mind, but his plans for the coming<br />
year are to build on his digital skills. “I’m not<br />
going to step away from the easel completely,” he<br />
says, “but I’d like to be able to go back and do a bit<br />
of editing. I really like artists like Shag, and seeing<br />
the work they do with it, that’s something I want<br />
to try out.” Perhaps when he’s back with his fourth<br />
cover, it won’t be a painting at all… RC<br />
