A Legendary Artist
Mark Watts is the Original G1 TRANSFORMER Artist from 1981 and beyond.
Key highlights of Mark Watts' contribution to Transformers include:
- Original G1 Transformers Box Art: He is credited with creating the packaging artwork for several early Transformers characters, including some of the most famous ones like Bumblebee, Cliffjumper, Gears, Brawn, Huffer, Windcharger, Shockwave, and Jetfire.
- Legacy and Influence: His work has become a defining element of the Transformers' early aesthetic, deeply ingrained in the memories of fans and collectors. The dynamic poses and detailed renderings of the characters on the packaging helped captivate audiences and elevate the toys' appeal.
- Beyond Transformers: Mark Watts' artistic career extends beyond Transformers, encompassing a wide range of commercial art, fine art, and other projects. However, his work with Transformers remains a cornerstone of his legacy.
Best known for his work with acrylics and digital airbrush, Mark captures the essence of reflective surfaces in unique and stunning ways. Some of his favorite subjects are classic cars, nostalgic scenes and surreal Images.
Remember the thrill of tearing open a gift on Christmas morning, discovering a brand-new Transformer in a shiny new box? While the toys were amazing in their own right, what made the packages stand head-and-shoulders above the myriad competing action figures on shelves was the stunning box art. Transformers: Legacy collects hundreds of beautifully airbrushed paintings from the iconic first decade of The Transformers. Hasbro, Takara, and private collectors opened their archives, yielding an unparalled level of quality. This book is chock-full of extras, including never-before-seen artwork from toys that never were, original design sketches, catalog artwork, and more.
