Mark Geyer’s distinctive style can be seen in the interior pen & inks for three Stephen King novels, Rose Madder, The Green Mile, and the European Bag of Bones. 2009 finds Mark illustrating the first of two books for children: The Inquisitor’s Apprentice for Henry Holt Books for Young Readers. He has illustrated several horror novels for adults. A chapter is devoted to him in an upcoming anthology entitled Artists Inspired by Stephen King, published October 2009 by Centipede Press.
Born in Amityville, New York in 1955, Mark spent his childhood on Long Island. He learned to draw from his mother, Joan Lavigueur Geyer, who today is a renowned botanical artist. His first drawings were landscapes in pencil. He received a B.A. in Studio Art from Florida State University in 1979.
His clients include Advertising Age, Chicago Tribune, Random House, Henry Holt & Company, Penguin Putnam, Simon & Schuster, Subterranean Press, Centipede Press, White Wolf Publishing, Warner Brothers Home Video, Hallmark Cards, Pizza Hut Inc., and Chick-Fil-A. He has done hundreds of architectural renderings for architectural firms such as Heery International, Rosser, HOK, John Portman Associates, and Turner Sports and Entertainment.
