Mark Hess's professionalism and patience are crucial qualities for the
success of his US postage stamps. Especially for something like the
Civil War series, with all of its enthusiasts, the research is beyond
comprehensive--including everything from the length of beards to the
size of, and distance between buttons. The experts love to pick these
things apart and find mistakes. Somehow Mark kept his head above
it all, made voluminous changes, and got through it without any
factual inaccuracies. As for his artistic contribution, we chose him
because there is a unique charm to his paintings...they're highly
interpretive."

"The first thing I asked Mark to do was a huge oil painting on
canvas for my restaurant. He did incredible research and came up
with the idea of depicting historically significant chefs with their most
famous dishes. Of course he insisted on the authenticity of every
detail... I trust Mark's take on many aspects of my business; his
insights into who we're trying to attract, and about how that
demographic may perceive anything from the name of the restaurant,
to the logo, to the design of the plates is usually right on target.
And he doesn't have a big ego about his work, which makes him extremely
flexible and easy for other creatives, like architects, to work with."
