Mark Pingitore Leaving Topps to Focus on Magic Marker Art

Long time Topps Garbage Pail Kids artist Mark Pingitore has decided to leave his freelance job at Topps. As he first mentioned on the GPK Underground Message board a few days ago, Mark has left to focus on his own art and his company, Magic Marker Art. His last six paintings appeared in the recently released 2017 Garbage Pail Kids Adam-Geddon set. Mark was hired by former Topps Art Director, Jeff Zapata, and started with the GPK brand on the Flashback 1 set. Mark’s front card final paintings have appeared in every set since that Flashback 1 set. I conducted an e-mail interview with Mark this week. We discuss his reasons for leaving Topps, what he has planned with Magic Marker Art going forward, and we also get a little nostalgic with Mark and his time at Topps.

GPKNews – Mark, thanks for doing the interview with me. Say it isn’t so! Recent reports have you leaving Topps to focus on your own art and brands. Why the decision to leave Topps?

Mark Pingitore – Thanks for reaching out for an interview Jeff! Yes, Adam-geddon will be the last GPK release that I contribute to. It wasn’t a conscious decision per se, but more so just the direction my focus has gone. Over the years I have done my own GPKesque parody work on the side for conventions and art shows. Doing them, I’ve really enjoyed having complete creative control, deadlines that I plan, and a consistent overall look with the artwork that producing my own stuff allows. That coupled with a general dissatisfaction of the current direction of GPK with the political focus, not enjoying or following politics really, it has just become my preference to focus on my own work, which is a more rewarding creative outlet for me.

GPKNews – In October of last year Topps sent their lawyers out on a cease and desist mission to protect their intellectual property. Many GPK artists and websites were hit with notices, including yourself, right as your Horrible Kids set was launching. How much does that experience play into your decision?

MP – I will just say that how Topps handled themselves definitely played a part.

GPKNews – In our previous interview you talked about how you collected GPKs as a kid and into high school. How hard of a decision was it to leave Topps? Did the nostalgia and something you collected as a kid pull at the heart strings a little bit?

MP – It’s always a difficult choice to commit to a big career decision, so it wasn’t without some weighing of pros and cons. I had 10+ years working on GPK though, and feel like I accomplished the original goal I had when I first started submitting ideas. It took a lot of work going from a concept artist to a final front artist. I was able to create some GPK that I’m really proud of, that I feel captured the original appeal and look of the OS sets. As I continue on in my own projects, I strive to make each one better than the last.

GPKNews – Let’s chat about the future and the Magic Marker Art brand you have. In the last year you’ve released three new sets, Disasters of the Universe 1 & 2, and Horrible Kids 1. Have those releases been successful for you?

MP – I’ve been very happy with the response to the work I’ve been releasing. I couldn’t do it without the support of those who buy the product and original art from me, so I can’t thank them enough. It was the artwork and writing that made the OS GPK so great, so making that quality and having everything flow together well is important to me.

GPKNews – What’s next for Magic Marker Art? I’ve seen you post previews for a GI Jokes set that you are working on. I’ve also seen some talk about a TMNT set in the pipeline? Any release timelines in mind?

MP – I’m working on finishing G.I. Jokes right now and am planning on a February 23 rd release for those. After that will be a TMNT parody set, Mutagen Canister Kids, that I have the rough sketches for Series 1 finished for. I’m looking at a late March or early April release of those, depending on when the art is ready.

GPKNews – How about long term? Do you have plans for another Horrible Kids series? Or Disasters? Any other ideas floating around?

MP – I definitely have plans for a lot more in 2017. I’d like to get a set out every month or two, and have ideas for more Horrorible Kids and Disasters, as well as other directions to go in like a classic NES parody set, other fun 80s/90s toylines/cartoons, as well as movie and comic book parodies. There’s a lot of places to go. I have a bunch of unused GPK ideas from over the years that I’d like to finish up at some point too. I also want to release more shirts/phone cases/pins, etc.

GPKNews – Do you have any other upcoming freelance work for other companies we can keep an eye out for?

MP – I’m currently working on the first in a series of children’s book I’ve been commissioned to illustrate, and will also be getting back into larger scale work that is more in the realism vein.

GPKNews – Will you continue to attend some of the comic/art conventions? Any upcoming shows planned?

MP – Yup, I’m actually planning on increasing the number of conventions I set up at this year. Mostly in states surrounding the PA area, but also some others across the US. So far I’m scheduled for Greater Philadelphia Comic Con April 7-9 th , East Coast Comicon April 29 th & 30 th , Harrisburg Comic Con May 20 th & 21 st , and Retro Con October 14 th & 15 th . I’m also looking into others including returning to Designer Con in November.

GPKNews – I commend you for taking the chance and going out on your own. What are your feelings on making this jump? Nervous at what lies ahead? Excited about new opportunities?

MP – Thank you. It is always a scary thing to make a big change, but I’ve done it before. I worked in animation for 5-6 years before I left to freelance on my own fulltime for Topps. That was a big change and somewhat of a risk, but it worked out, so I’m excited to see where this takes me. Social media and the direct interaction with the people interested in the product is a big thing for independent artists to self-produce.

GPKNews – I believe you have six final paintings in the latest GPK release, Adam-Geddon. Any idea on the total number of GPK finals you’ve painted over the years?

MP – I have a binder of all my published GPK cards, so my count is 121, not including subsets like Adam Bomb Thru History or the Locomotion cards.

GPKNews – From Garbage Pail Kids fans everywhere I want to thank you for all the art over the years we’ve been able to enjoy. You have a lot of fans, and I know you will be missed by collectors. I know you won’t miss some of the deadlines and procedures, but are you going to miss working on the Garbage Pail Kids brand? Or will your own brand fill that void for you?

MP – Thanks very much! I’ll miss the excitement of all of the GPK collectors seeing the new cards when a set is released, and seeing different reactions, but I’ll still get that with my own stuff too.

GPKNews – Finally, I know we touched on this a little bit last time, but there has been some new releases since then. What is your favorite Garbage Pail Kid you’ve painted over the years?

MP – My favorite GPK I did is still either Wade Shade from 2015 S1, or Rick Grimey from 2014 S2. Those are my two favorite sets of the new GPK too. Thanks Jeff!

It isn’t much, but it (slowly) adds up—it’s a lovely way to support the content that I create, and it comes at no cost to you, which is awesome, too. Thanks, in advance, to anyone who supports my art in this way; I really appreciate it!

I am going to admit it here, loud and absolutely not proud, that I was incredibly slow to get on the coloring-with-permanent-markers train back when I first published my coloring book, Doodled Blooms, in 2016. In those days when folks asked me, "What should I color your book with?" my immediate response was, "Colored pencils, crayons, maybe gel pens, but definitely take it easy on the markers - they are messy, bleed through the pages, and are not able to create the cool effects you see happening with colored pencils like color blends and ombres."

And, was I wrong.

Many coloring enthusiasts have since colored my coloring book, bookmarks and cards to absolute gorgeousness, and not with expensive, artist quality alcohol-based Copic Markers either, but with run of the mill Sharpie and Bic Marking permanent markers (which also happen to be alcohol-based)!

Skip forward to the fall of 2019, and my go-to coloring supplies of choice whether for coloring during travel, creating colored examples of my coloring adventures for the HCWT Coloring Shop, or simply coloring for pleasure are more often than not my permanent markers (I favor Bic Marking permanent markers over Sharpies as they have almost no odor to speak of, but I also have a fine collection of Sharpies as the two companies have very different color selections)!

Here are my two favorite coloring-with-permanent-marker techniques: rubbing alcohol with permanent markers, and layering colors of differing values to create ombres and color blends. What I love about these two tricks (besides the fact that they make for super satisfying and therapeutic coloring experiences) is that they are both inexpensive, which means you can experiment with your markers without worrying about how much money your coloring trial-and-error exploration costs you.

Using Rubbing Alcohol With Permanent Markers

Do you have Isopropyl alcohol? Do you have some plastic lids and bottle tops waiting to be recycled? Do you have a small paintbrush? Well, then you have the supplies to stop coloring with your permanent markers and start painting with them!

Treat your plastic lid like a paint palette and your permanent markers like tubes of paint, and lay down all the colors you want to experiment with onto your plastic lid. Pour yourself a smidge of rubbing alcohol into a bottle top (use a little alcohol at a time), set your coloring page on a surface that won't be spoiled should alcohol drop onto it (this is NOT the coloring project to do on your great aunt's antique table), moisten your paintbrush with some rubbing alcohol and get painting/coloring! You do have to work fast when coloring/painting with permanent markers and rubbing alcohol, but not nearly as fast as I do in this hyperlapse coloring tutorial:)

Using the coloring technique of diluting permanent marker ink with alcohol has revealed to me all of the different colors that go into creating the strongly pigmented shades that come directly out when we color with these sorts of markers traditionally (there is a whole lot of blue in dark brown and waaay more than fifty shades of grey in black). Also, don't throw away your used plastic lid paint palettes! If you still have ink on those babies, all you have to do to paint with it again is sprinkle some alcohol on the pigment to reignite the color! I have a whole area in my studio devoted to "used paint palettes," and I use them for coloring on the wild side (no markers, no pencils, just picking up pigment from old palettes and seeing what happens - waste not, want not, right?).

1. Choose your color palette (selecting colors that sit close to each other on the color wheel makes for the most seamless color blends, but I hope you will feel brave enough to give this technique a try on any 2 or 3 colors and see see what happens) and pop open the caps of ALL of your markers (there is no time for opening and closing marker caps with this process).

3. Color your second darkest color over the section of the lightest color where you would like the two colors to start blending.

4. Re-color your lightest color over both of the areas you just colored (the lighter color and the slightly darker shade) going back and forth over the seam where the two colors meet with the lightest shade of marker.

5. If you are using three or more colors, add your next darkest shade where you would like it to go, and then quickly repeat steps 2 - 4, making sure to color with the proper shade of marker in the desired space (having your hands full of markers without caps on them can lead to colors flying every which way).

One of the reasons loads of folks enjoy coloring with permanent markers is that "finishing" a page happens much more quickly than it typically does with colored pencils or crayons. And, there is nothing wrong with the satisfaction of getting to the end of your creative time and feeling like you've completed something! But, one of my favorite things to do with both of these permanent marker techniques is to add layers of colored pencil on top of the color bleeds and blends I've made, after my coloring page is thoroughly dry, of course. I have achieve fabulous shading and depth in my coloring by using markers and colored pencils together, and I highly recommend giving this "kitchen sink" approach to coloring a try!

Whether these permanent marker tricks are your final stop in coloring or they are another tool to add to what I hope is your ever-growing coloring toolbox, I do hope you find these permanent marker techniques as fun to use in your creative time as I have in mine!
