Hello, I'm
Mark Kowalchuk
I’m a Canadian illustrator and graphic artist based out of Calgary, Alberta. I grew up in Thunder Bay, Ontario and attended art school, completing a degree in Fine Arts and a diploma in Design at George Brown College in Toronto. In Alberta I gained the experience and confidence to enter into the sport and clothing industries, gaining connections and making lifetime friends. After starting the skateboard company ‘artschool’ six years ago with my business partner, I found success selling my own designs through many skate shops in Canada and the US. I’ve collaborated with nearly every major snowboard and skate brand I’ve admired and have been fortunate to be featured in Thrasher Magazine’s canvas section and Snowboard Business’ ‘Flight of the Art’.
