Scope of this project includes:
• Graphic design, photo editing, develop quarterly themes and manage outside designers – Mark Johnson
Im a fan of custom wear so naturally I gravitated toward sneaker customs. For me this is a great way to decompress, I can grab a pair of kicks, sit down, relax and paint during conversation or watching some 90’s skate band documentary.
Below are a few of my relaxation sessions.
(This one is actually a skull design by lurking class. I have been a fan of (Sketchy Tank), now Lurking for a while now, so paid tribute with my nike cortez.)
Here is a personal project started a while back, some custom design shoe stuff going on here. Finally got around to putting a shoe-case site together to desplay the works!

This is an older project that I wanted to breath new life into because I always liked it but it did not fit into any solid catagory.
I was contracted by Solid Form Fabrication to hand engrave a unique still cap for Ransom Spirits that will be used on a still to make spirits.
“Ransom Spirits was started by Tad Seestedt in 1997 with a small life savings and a fistful of credit cards. The name was chosen to represent the debt incurred to start the business.”.. They wanted it to be copper, 10″ diameter and hand engraved. This was a super unique request but who was I to let them down. I broke out my trusty rotary Dremel too with the diamond tip and went to work.
Hand drawn back in 92 with a pen! What a relic. Found these today … again, they’ve been floating around my life for years.
To think how nice it would have been to do that line work with a computer! 
Evolution of the MJD header design. For years this site address was Mark Johnson Design.com, until I got a .99 special for markjohnsons.com of which it is now. I liked the sound of it so I re-directed everything and updated the header, but I still have a fondness for the o’l classics. A few samples are shown below. I hope you find them entertaining and unique. 
Phoenix Gold Magazine Ad
This was an internationally ran ad in multiple car audio magazines to showcase a new family of products. This was my first internationally ran ad in my career. I look at it now and could pick it apart in every way, but I really like the idea of sharing where I started. This was back in 2006!
Scope of this project includes:
• Just keeping my head above water and try to learn as much as possible about design, I did not know it then, but I was about to have an amazing ride!
