Biography

Born/ Dundee 04/06/1971

BA(hons) Fine Art Printmaking
MSc Electronic Imaging

www.thisismarkwallace.co.uk

My particular areas of expertise are in Printmaking, drawing, sound design and film editing. I  also specialize in teaching the following software- Final Cut Pro Studio, Photoshop CS, Adobe Illustrator, Reason 4.5 After effects, Soundtrack, Flash.

Technology plays a crucial role in my work, whether I am using it to create film/sound/animations/3D Sculpture and vector graphics for print and publication.

I have never been slow to incorporate my passions for DJ-ing, Graphic Design, Street Art, and music into my work, whether its releasing recordings on vinyl with hand printed embossed sleeves, or mixing street calligraphy aesthetics with memories of the Dundee landscape to create a personal visual language.

My research over the last 6 years has involved learning  to write and produce music investigating  new software. I am particularly interested in the evolution of bass culture and the visual aspect of music.

I now produce my own material, the sound being a  hybrid mutation of influences of everything from Northern Soul to Dub,Techno, Hip Hop and Chicago house.
