"Mark Ammerman has done such wonderful work for us... that I would prefer he illustrate ALL of our titles...."
Adele Kupchik, Senior Production Editor, College Book Editorial-Production, Prentice Hall
CARTOONING
Mark has been drawing cartoons and comics since he was knee-high to a tadpole. His work has appeared in Marvel Comics and Highlights for Children. He has drawn Tom and Jerry dailies for European syndication, Sesame Street Muppet designs for J.C. Penney, Bible story books for the Donut Man, and hundreds of cartoons for textbooks and specialty books for various publishers. Mark and his wife Terri created "PreB's", a one-panel cartoon for the monthly pro-life magazine Celebrate Life. Recently, Mark worked with Howard Cannon (of 1 Smart Duck promotions) to create Ozzie the 1 Odd Duck (seen playing the banjo here on our left.)
ILLUSTRATION
Mark has illustrated scores of books for many American publishing houses (Prentice Hall, Simon & Schuster, John Wiley & Sons, Alfred Knopff, Harper-Collins, Henry Holt, Random House and more) and several Christian publishers as well (Barbour Books, David C. Cook, Veritas Press and more.) He has illustrated novels, technical manuals, educational texts, children's books, travel manuals, brochures and newsletters. He is skilled in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, as well as many traditional mediums (pencil and ink, water color, oils, colored pencils, pastels, collage and airbrush.)
"Mark Ammerman has brought a creative skill and personal integrity into my life that continues to bless others every time they pick up one of the five books he edited, drew and designed for me. This man is a treasure to me... and I encourage
you to develop a relationship with him and use his wonderful gifts."
Rob Evans ("The Donut Man"), children's song-writer and entertainer

WEB DESIGN and MULTIMEDIA
Mark has designed and maintained half a dozen websites for churches, businesses and organizations, but the only updated sites currently online are the one you see here now (which is actually a Weebly.com site, though Mark picked the template and did all the layout and text) and two other Weebly sites called olddog.weebly.com and parakaleo.weebly.com. He is skilled in the use of Dreamweaver (popular website editing software).
Mark has also written scripts, created graphics and provided voice-over for many video productions for use in events promotion.
"Mark Ammerman has done a superb job designing our website as well as our brochure. His capacity to convey the
unique personality of our business to our customers was almost uncanny. It was as if Mark had been an employee
here for years. In addition to his professional attributes, I found Mark to be a man of character and integrity.
I would highly recommend Mark Ammerman to anyone needing graphic work for print or the internet."
Morgan Roberts, proprietor of The Outhouse, Lancaster, Pennsylvania
