For 23 years, I have been designing graphics and visual effects

throughout the US, Canada, South America, Europe, China, Africa and India.

My work has been featured in film, television, music videos, commercials, web design, large format stage visuals and archectural graphics and lighting effects.

Presently I am living in Los Angeles and looking for work fulltime or freelance.

______________________________________________________________________

I began my career as a print graphic designer in 1983 upon graduation

from the prestigious Tyler School of Art of Temple University with a

Bachelors of Fine Arts Degree in Graphic Design.

Shortly after graduation I opened Mark Devlin Visual Design, in Beverly Hills, an advertising

agency specializing in print graphics for the entertainment industries

including national trade advertisements for film and television,

as well as packaging and promotional items for the home video

and the recording industries. But, after 5 years designing

print graphics, I was intriged by the opportunity to put my designs in motion.

I left the glamour of Hollywood and moved north to the

serenity of Monterey,California as the new Art Director for

KCBA- Fox 35.

One year later I thrusted my career into

warp speed as Director of Video Production at ZSF Advertising

in Boynton Beach Florida, Assistant Art Director at WPTV-5

in West Palm Beach and Weekend Paintbox Artist at WSVN-7

in Miami, all at the same time.

In 1991, I yearned for the bright lights of Hollywood and returned

to Los Angeles as a freelance paintbox artist for KABC, KNBC,

KCBS, KTTV, KCAL and Fox Sports. Within 6 months I had

taught myself the other 7 Quantel computers; the Picturebox,

Harriet, Harry, Hal, Domino, Editbox and Henry.

Before I knew it I was a freelance trainer for Quantel giving

regular classes throughout Canada, the US and South America.

As my reputation grew, I was able to create a lucrative career

as one of Los Angeles' premier freelance Quantel artists,

broadcast designer and visual effects artist. For 14 years now,

I have continued to work freelance both nationally and

internationally throughout Asia, India, Europe and South America.

In November of 2000, I was invited to become a member

of the elite Soho Editors of London and became only the

5th accredited Quantel Editbox trainer in the world.

In the Spring of 2001 I settled down a bit in Sao Paulo Brazil

to work for 7 months with one of South Americas most

successful post production facility, Casablanca Finish, were

I increased my arsenal of weapons to include the Discreet

Inferno, Flame, Fire, and Adobe After Effects, Photoshop,

and Illustrator.

I returned to Los Angeles for a second time in 2002 where I have been freelancing on Inferno, Flame, and Combustion.

I speak English and Brazilian Portuguese and have basic

knowledge of French, Italian and Spanish.
