Mark garlick biography

Greetings! My name is Mark A. Garlick, and I am a freelance illustrator, author and computer animator based in Hove, GB.As an artist I specialise in earth sciences, technology, astronomy, space and science fiction, but my writing focuses mainly on astronomy.
      Like many artists I began my career by getting dirty with tubes of paint, and occasionally I do still work with traditional media such as acrylic or oil pastels. But these days I am primarily a digital artist. For most of my career I have used Windows. Photoshop was always my main tool, alongside 3D software such as Blender and 3DS Max. The latter I use for animations, alongside (until recently) Adobe After Effects to work on them in post-production. However, I have now switched to Linux. Photoshop works poorly on Linux, while After Effects and 3ds Max don't work at all. So I am using GIMP for stills now, Blender exclusively for 3D, and DaVinchi Resolve for video editing. I also have a YouTube channel.
