Mark Hodgkinson aka (Firehazzard)

Artist, web designer, rock'n'roller based in Nottingham, England. Under-educated to a level of insignificance instead learnt his trade by studying record sleeves by bands like Iron Maiden, Motorhead, Marillion as a kid. Dropped out of college at the age of 20 after deciding his chances of making a name for himself as a sleeve designer would be greatly increased by developing his work and taking it directly to bands at gigs. This move paid off when he was given the chance to produce work for inclusion on The Wildhearts UK top40 hit single 'Suckerpunch' later going on to produce various single sleeves and one album sleeve for The Jellys featuring ex-members of The Wildhearts. Working mostly in the medium of acrylic on board and also computer generated design using Photoshop, Mark has also produced work for Subpop artists The YoYo's and most recently posters for the Electric Frankenstein - High-Energy Punk Rock & Roll Poster Art book amongst other.
