Mark Gibbons
Dropping out of art college after two weeks of painting with custard and gravy to play bass in a Hair Metal band might not have been Mark's wisest of moves considering his subsequent choice of career.
From Cardiff, Wales, Mark's earliest professional commissions were in local television and advertising before Games Workshop lured him north to Nottingham to begin what he affectionately refers to as his "spiky period". Over the subsequent five years Mark created hundreds of illustrations for the iconic Warhammer game universe.
The dawn of the PlayStation age drew Mark away from the tabletop and into the digital realm where he spent most of the next twenty years working for a variety of video game development studios including Sony Computer Entertainment Europe and Blizzard Entertainment where he spent seven years, the last four as World of Warcraft's concept artist.
After a stint on the Foundations team at Riot Games, helping to flesh out their worlds beyond League of Legends, Mark returned to the turbulent waters of the freelance and in 2020, founded Rookery Publications with a group of like-minded tabletop gaming veterans.
