Mark Willis brings a unique blend of talents and experience to his artwork. Working primarily in digital
media, Mark has been involved with computers and digital art for almost twenty years, making him one of
the pioneers of computer art.
As a youth, he became proficient in drawing and illustration as well as photography and image
manipulation using classical darkroom techniques, publishing several works commercially while still in
high school.
Mark attended Oklahoma City University in the 70's to study traditional art techniques in painting and
illustration. After his university experience, he became fascinated by the then infant field of computer
graphics and went on to publish one of the first books on three dimensional graphics for personal
computers, 3D COMPUTER GRAPHICS (Entelek, 1983, ISBN 87567-041-5).
The lure of steady income sidetracked Mark into a lucrative career as a software developer in the 80's but
the advent of powerful personal computers in the 90's led Mark to return to his exploration of digital art.
The ability to finance his hardware and software purchases from software income gave him great freedom
to explore digital imagery from a purely artistic perspective without the constant pressures of commercial
demands.
Mark's style and subject matter are extremely varied. His works include classical still lifes, abstracts,
figure studies, science fiction, fantasy, horror, illustration, humor, southwestern, and children's scenes.
In 1995, Mark established the "Wire Frame Studio" site on the World Wide Web. This combination art
gallery and digital art school has attracted thousands of visitors from around the world and has won many
awards and critical acclaim. You can visit Wire Frame Studio to see Mark's latest works and learn about

Today Mark currently resides in Atlanta and continues to produce images on the leading edge of computer
art. He uses a wide array of programs including Imagine, 3D Studio, PhotoShop, CorelDRAW, FreeHand
7 Studio, Bryce 2, POV-RAY, Ray Dream Designer, Fractal Design Painter, Detailer, Poser, Martin Hash
3D Animation, Kai Power Tools, 4D Vision Sculpture, and his own custom art software.
