Mark Wilson occupies a small, uncoveted niche on the rock-strewn terrain of newspaper editorial art. While the hopelessly rust-locked power struggle that is New York State government offers a cartoonist little opportunity to influence meaningful civic reform, it does guarantee material for a full career of sardonic commentary.

Under the signature MARQUIL, Wilson's cartoons appear regularly across central and eastern New York State in The Adirondack Daily Enterprise, The Journal News (Ithaca), The Saratogian (Saratoga Springs), The Times Herald-Record (Middletown), The Record (Troy), The Observer-Dispatch (Utica) and The Press-Republican (Plattsburgh). His illustrations appear in Adirondack Life magazine and The Sunday Gazette of Schenectady.

Mark Wilson lives humbly with his awesome wife, their performing, reddish dog, and three chickens among the Adirondack Mountains. For additional information please contact: marquil@empirewire.com.
