Mark Bender

Mark Bender is an illustrator that has been recognized by Communication Arts Magazine and the New York Society of Illustrators. Mark's illustrations have strongly influences from advertising posters from the 1920s and 1930s. I like Mark Bender's work and his website because his work is influenced from artwork in the 20s and 30s, and to me, those were very cool time periods in our world, especially from the 20s.
