25 year old Mark Tronson learnt airbrushing techniques from Tony Vowells, a successful airbrush artist from Australia. Tony helped Mark extend his artistic skills past cartooning and pencil sketching by learning the fundamentals of airbrush mechanics and photo rendering techniques. In 2010 he entered a small series into an exhibition called “Sound Room” in Devonport’s Artspace where he glorified kiwi musicians on vinyl records. He is inspired by MC Escher, Brandon Boyd and Alex Grey. Mark is a full time musician, either performing acoustic sessions in bars or rocking out in the progressive rock band Frozen Alice. http://markusaquinos.deviantart.com/
