Artist Mark Wigan first gained recognition in the early 1980's for his illustrations for NME and iD magazine.  Many of Wigan's projects have taken place in Japan including the launch of his own chain of 'art to wear' merchandise shops. Other commissions have included murals for nightclubs and city expos, set designs for TV shows and animation for TV commercials. 

Career highlights have included painting murals at London and New York's Limelight clubs at Andy Warhol's suggestion (who described Wigan's work as 'hot'), promoting his own clubs  The Brain and the Love Ranch as well as exhibiting paintings at galleries all over the world including The Circulo des Belles Artes in Madrid and Spiral Hall in Tokyo. 

He has written 5 books on illustration published by AVA publishing and has recently been working on a Global Pop Toad for 'Larkin 25' sponsored by Hull University to be exhibited in Hull City Centre from mid-July 2010.
