Mark Ross

A visual storyteller pushing the edges of possibility.

With a BFA from Syracuse University’s illustration program, Mark Ross draws on his background as a traditional painter and illustrator to inform the digital work he creates today. That fine art foundation shows up in everything he makes: photography, CGI, digital imaging, motion, and whatever the industry is doing next.

Throughout his career, Mark has pushed the edges of what is possible as new technologies emerge — including AI, which he uses the way a painter uses reference: as a resource, not a replacement.

His range means your project looks like the vision you brought to him, whether that’s retouching your signature hamburger or visualizing the mysteries of a black hole.

Among his clients: Southwest Airlines, McDonald’s, Hasbro, Acura, Honda, Pfizer, Gatorade, Pizza Hut, Victoria’s Secret, Frito-Lay, Tecate, D Magazine, and a long-running relationship with Scientific American that spans more than two dozen covers. Work for VFX studios including The Mill, Carbon, and Indigo. Conceptual illustration for Brad Oldham Sculpture. And more.
