Mark!’s Sketchbook: Mark! & Bernie

Mark! meets Bernie at the Gasparo's

I definitely need to play with this. Everything came out too light, so I may print it and add some gray tones and try to…gulp…ink it or maybe I’ll use some software to do all of this. I really need the practice with both. Any suggestions?

Good Birthday, Mark!

Mark! and Paul in Grand Central Station, early January 2007.

I’m so fucking tired of this Happy Birthday shit and someone getting paid every time it’s sung in a movie. Fuck that. Right, Mark!? So instead, I’m writing you a new song that hopefully will be used in movies and I’ll get paid like $75 each time. Good Birthday to you! Good Birthday to you! …
