Mark Frederickson

Mark A. Fredrickson lives in Tucson, Arizona. He attended Tennessee Temple College in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where he studied drawing and photography. He continued his education at the University of Arizona. In his senior year, Mark’s interest shifted from fine art to a career in commercial illustration.























After leaving school, Fredrickson worked for The Arizona Daily Star as an editorial artist for over 4 years. When he left the newspaper to pursue free-lance illustration full time, he was already on his way to becoming a significant talent through exposure in national competitions.






















Mark’s intensely dramatic and distinctively distorted but realistic style has garnered many awards and has been featured in numerous award publications including Communication Arts Illustration Annuals, Society of Illustrators Annuals, Print, Graphis, Idea, Airbrush Action, Art Directors Annuals, and Hot Air.

I oppose increasing conventional ground force deployment in Afghanistan. I prefer to employ covert deployment as described in the book Ghost Wars. We need to also provide humanitarian assistance to encourage Afghanistan farmers to find other profitable crops other than cultivation of the opium poppy. Finally, we need to resolve the Indian-Pakistani Kashmiri dispute which will allow Pakistan to concentrate its military resources in fighting terrorism in the so-called tribal areas on the border with Afghanistan.










































Use the free market to focus health care on obtaining outcomes instead of reimbursing physicians for transactions as is now the case. My recent major law firm employer also encouraged employees to take ownership of their physical fitness by providing discounted health club memberships to those who demonstrated its use & by sponsoring monthly healthy living seminars.
