Mark Rogalski

Some of Mark Rogalski’s earliest works of art might still be found on the walls (scribbled, not hanging) of the house in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where he was born and raised. After graduating from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, Mark worked as an editorial cartoonist, a scenery designer, a screen printer and a graphic designer before writing and illustrating children’s books. His work has fantastical elements and themes that are influenced by the wonders of childhood, science fiction, mechanical inventions and journeys of the imagination. He also incorporates elements of puzzles, games and interaction into his books. His work has been honored by The International Reading Association and Communication Arts Magazine and has been featured on NBC’s Today Show and by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. Mark lives in Wayne, Pennsylvania with his wife and two daughters, in a house with many new wall scribblings.
