04.16.11
I received a nice little shout out for some of my logo design work over at Ferndale 115. Recently I designed the logo for the Rust Belt Market that is opening May 7 in Ferndale MI. I wanted to thank Tiffany and Chris Best for being so awesome and supportive and constantly giving me shout outs. They were a joy to work with.
Speaking of the Rustbelt Marktet I will have a spot there selling items with some of my design inspired work. I'll update my page with previews and sneak peeks soon.
03.25.11
A few new pieces added to the site. I'll slowly be adding more stuff soon. Emphasis on the word slowly.
Mark Sarmel is the alter ego of Mark Moreno, designer by day, illustrator by night and sometimes vice versa. In general I just try to make as much cool stuff as possible.
In art as well as in life the following things are important to me: honesty, passion and a sense of humor. I can often be found daydreaming. I am most comfortable with good friends, good drinks and good food. I stay up late.
My work has appeared in Beautiful/Decay, Empty, Semi-Permanent, Faestehetic, and DPI Taiwan. I have shown in galleries such as Red Bull House of Art, Society of Illustrators, 323East, and numerous others. I'm open for commisions too!
