NAME (or Alias):
Mark Celis (aka) yomark
WHERE YOU WERE BORN:
Just outside of Mom's groin.
Seriously: born and lived all my life in the San Fernando Valley, good ol' Kally-forn-eye-ay (specifically: Encino).
PUBLISHED or UNPUBLISHED:
Uncircumcised.
Do newsletters count? (Yeah, I know: what's a "newsletter?"). How about crank-mail? Come to think of it, I'd done a smidgeon of copy-writing as part of my stint as a graphic designer.
PASSTIME:
Duh! I'm in this forum………
Movies on DVD (don't have Blu-ray, nor the bandwidth to stream movies). I LOVE stand-up comedy, so I put on the internet-radio comedy station when I cook and do the dishes. I was a graphic designer for 30 years, and still do some "self-promotional" pieces from time-to-time, but mostly draw every day to get better and better.
JOB/SCHOOL:
Next question.
Took Graphic Design at a trade school twice: first right after High School, then again 20 years later to learn how to do it with the computer. Got to Junior level at Cal State Northridge before I dropped out, studying first art, then film.
