Mark Pingitore

Mark Pingitore grew up with Garbage Pail Kids, carrying a large stack of the cards everywhere he went as a child, but he eventually lost that original collection. Around 1997, he re-bought every single series. His personal interest turned into professional work after he spoke with art director Jeff Zapata the week he graduated from college, and he began working on concepts for the franchise at twenty-three years old.

His card credits began in 2010 and continued through 2023, adding up to 248 cards across the line.

Those credits also included a card bearing his own name, Mark Pingitore.
