Mark A. Lester
I was once described by my friend as, "The most famous person no one has ever heard of." Whether or not this statement is true is irrelevant - it's funny. My name is Mark A. Lester. I'm a writer and illustrator whose work has appeared in numerous alternative and small press books, magazines and newspapers as well as on-line.

About M@L:
I make up stories. I draw stuff. I’m nicer than I look. I can eat standing up. I’m not as tall as I think. I write stuff. I can count to ten. I don’t like math. I don’t believe what others believe. I am obsessed with things most people don’t think about. I don’t care what people think. I don’t smile much. That's not true. I like to laugh. Usually at you. I have a terrible memory. I prefer old movies. I prefer books over people. No one is honest. Not even with themselves. I think I’m normal. I think I’m the only one. People are strange. I’m nicer than you think. Someone is reading this. I only want to try. I don’t care if anyone cares. That’s a good thing. No one cares. Nothing matters. I know how to lie. Life is fake. I like dreaming. I can sleep laying down. I’m not funny. I think I am. I don’t know anyone like me. I creep people out. I don’t play well with others. I don’t eat fast food. I like fast food. I like being around people who are passionate about something. Anything. I prefer being alone. There are a lot of artists better than me. I don’t really care. I don't wish on stars. I love old radio dramas. I don’t listen to much music. I think Sean Connery made the best 007. I don’t care for phones. I like to sleep. I am a very spiritual person. I don’t agree with anyone about anything. I think I’m right. I never yell. I hate drama. I can’t cook. I like pulp magazines. I think I would have been better off if I were born fifty years earlier. I’d be dead now if I was. I still wish I was. I like science fiction. I think it’s more true than “real life”. I don’t care for material things. That’s good. I have nothing. I never leave. I’ve been left before. I didn’t like it. I don’t lie. I won’t tell you what I don’t want you to know. I have a sarcastic sense of humor. I think I’m funny. I’m a romantic. I’m usually alone. I want to live forever. I think I will. I live the life I choose. I make no apologies. People come to me. I know your secrets. I keep secrets. Most people think I’m strange. They’re right. I am a loner. People think I’m the life of the party. I have no idea why. I’m arrogant, thoughtful, kind, smart and decent. And it really doesn’t matter.

Welcome to the Five Star Asylum, where I streach out my promised 15 Minutes of fame into an endless, one-sided conversation. I pity you. I really do.

I'm am a creator, writer and illustrator all wrapped up in a nice little package called Five Star Studios. Although you may call it something else. Good for you.

Life is what it is and I am who I am.

Hey Mark, thanks for the befriends. If there was a way to do it, I would add your "About Me" as a favorite. That was great! What you wrote about yourself sums it up for me too!

That Morgan Stone stuff is looking really good, especially the latter pages- the bold light and dark shapes are really eyecatching. Cheers for the add and comment!
