Mark Bernard, also known as sketchnkustom, is a Melbourne-based artist whose work blends bold street-art aesthetics with intricate graphic detail. Working primarily with acrylics and paint markers, his vibrant style reflects a multicultural upbringing as a second-generation Australian of South Indian heritage. Mark’s art explores themes of identity, belonging, and cultural crossover, often balancing humour with social insight. Beyond painting, he is an award‑winning filmmaker and animator, using storytelling to expand the same ideas found in his visual art. Sketchnkustom is driven by expressive colour, strong line work, and stories that feel personal, relatable, and unapologetically human.
