Meet the man behind the whimsy: Mark Wilson

Hey there! I’m a children’s book illustrator and character designer living in upstate New York. As a husband and dad to six wildly creative kids, my life is equal parts inspiration and chaos (mostly the fun kind). I love creating whimsical, quirky, and heartwarming illustrations—whether it’s a grumpy owl, a heroic avocado, or the first hamster to step onto Mars. My goal? To make art that sparks laughter, wonder, and the occasional happy tear.

Let’s make something magical
(or at least mildly hilarious) together!
