Introducing Mark Stope at MacProVideo.com is a matter of great personal pride to me, not only because Mark is one of the best concept artists and Prop designers out there, but also because Mark Stope is one of my best friends! If there's a Canucks game on, you can bet we'll be watching it. If you come into the offices here at MacProVideo.com, you'll see more than a few of Mark's original paintings on our walls.

At any rate, I feel very lucky to have a friend as graphically talented as Mark is, and I'm extremely pleased to release his Photoshop tutorial-videos exclusively here at MacProVideo.com. Let me tell you a little bit about Mark ...

Raised in a small town on the west coast of Canada, and isolated miles away from most of his friends, Mark learned to entertain himself by drawing even before he entered the school system. After years of drawing on anything he could get his hands on, Mark went to Art School and honed his skills as a multimedia artist. While at school, Mark developed and refined his signature artistic style, along with his drawing, painting and animation skills.

Over the past several years, Mark has used Photoshop daily in his work as an illustrator for the online gaming industry as well as in Vancouver's film and television industry. His work has appeared in such hit Feature films and Television shows as Mission to Mars, X-Men 2, I Robot, Stargate SG-1, Eureka and most recently in ABC's hit series Once Upon a Time. (to name a few).

His vast knowledge and efficiency using Photoshop has not only made him a highly sought-after artist in his respective industries - but also as a trainer for MacProVideo.com's line of Photoshop tutorials ... and we hope to see a lot more tutorials by Mark in the future ...
