Gasolicious is the home of Mark Gason.

I am a professional web designer, web developer, animator and print designer. I split my time between Minneapolis, Minnesota and Melbourne, Australia. I am passionate about my job, my work revolves around the search for simplicity and conveying the right message through various communication media. I love design, photography, architecture, contemporary art, film and video.

I develop Flash based websites, HTML and CSS based websites and sites built on the wordpress CMS. I also have considerable experience with the WP-Ecommerce plugin for WordPress. I provide advice and tutorials on WordPress and building E-commerce solutions here in the Gasolicious blog. I am conversant with all the issues and solutions for creatuing content that worls across a variety of devices from desktop PC, iPad, iPhone or android device. (Take a look at this site on a variety of devices.)

I do not always limit myself to the online world. I have designed print pieces and created extensive technical documentation for industrial and software clients. I have produced industrial animation for factory production floors in use at such companies as Bridgestone/Firestone, Goodyear and Titleist to name just a few.

I have presented twice at FlashMN the Minnesota Flash Users group, once on developing native 3d applications in Flash using Papervision3d, and on using the Tweenmax and TimelineMax Actionscript engines to speed up writing animation with AS3 code. I write Actionscript 2 and 3, XHTML/HTML, XML and CSS.

You will find me answering questions at the forums of Storefront Themes, makers of premium themes for the WP-Ecommerce plugin, where I have been awarded the corny but still a bit flattering title of Trusty Forum Wizard. In fact I answered so many questions that Storefront reached out to employ me to offer support on their forums. Now for a cooler name than Wizard!
