Motionside Graphics

Specialties

Illustration * Graphic Design * Motion Graphics * Websites.

I’ve been in the graphic arts business since the ‘70s, so I’ve seen a lot come and go. I’ve worked in-​house for corporates and non-​profits; I’ve worked freelance for all sorts of businesses and individuals; I’ve worked directly in agencies. During that time I’ve adapted over and over to changing technologies, cultures and economies. I’ve taught myself programming, HTML, CSS, numerous graphic design programs on Windows and Mac, 3D modeling and animation. I’ve worked mostly in small markets, so didn’t have the luxury of specializing. As a result I feel confident that I can take on most jobs without much fuss. If I don’t list it here, just ask. I either have the tools and experience, or I’ll let you know that I don’t, and suggest some options.

Meet the Business Owner

Mark W.

Business Owner

Born in colonial Nigeria as the son of missionaries, I’ve lived in Southern California since the age of 12. I studied Illustration at Cal State Long Beach, and have worked in the commercial art business all my life. Most of my adult life has been spent in North San Diego County and I’ve lived and raised a family together with my wife/​high school sweetheart in Oceanside since 1988. I believe in hard work, integrity and fairness, and loving people. I love what I do and where it takes me creatively, and try to give back to the community by volunteer work at the jail.
