Mark Leary is a freelance artist, illustrator, designer and Photographer working under the name of ASYLUMseventy7

Always working his hardest to be original and explore any project with enthusiasm and maturity. Mark hates shallow work! He is influenced by the weird and wonderful - be it music, art, fashion or people. He enjoys taking work left-field and love nothing more than exploring the new and experimenting with the norm, to create something that shows the best of his abilities and the desires from the screaming voices inside us all!

Mark had been illustrating and designing for around 4 years when in 2005 he finished his BA(hons) in Illustration and attended the New Designers exhibition in London, after this he carried on with art and illustration when in 2006 set up Asylum seventy7 as a base for all his art projects.
