The result is a striking image that emphasizes the importance of safety in a dynamic environment.

Media personality Greg Cary has written a murder mystery novel as a follow up to his first book, "An Absence of Certainty". This is the cover image and design  Mark created as a concept for the book for Greg to give to his publisher. This basic design has been used with the addition of some "blood"  and some further fine tuning.
