Katie Ann Marks is an American artist based out of Lexington, Kentucky working in stop-motion animation, directing, producing, and exhibitions[1][2]. They are most known for their stop-motion animated music videos with their characters bearing resemblance to their live counterparts.[3]
Career
editIn 2017, Marks was running a successful food truck in Dayton, Ohio, having an annual fundraising event at the beginning of every season[4][5][6]. After the diagnosis of a benign brain mass, Marks discontinued the business and began working for the music industry.[7][8] There, they met artist Clyde Petersen who shepherded their animation career[9][10] as an intern on one of Petersen's projects.
Marks' first videos were mainly independent musicians within local music communities.[11][12] Their first video was for Paige Beller's "Failed Attempts and Cigarettes" in 2021.[13][14] In 2022, The Gabbard Brothers, consisting of Zachary Gabbard and Andrew Gabbard from Buffalo Killers commissioned Marks with "Pockets of Your Mind," a single from their self-titled album.[15][16] The video premiered on DittyTV.[17][18] Marks was then approached by Logan Lynn in 2023 to assistant produce and animate "Distracted", a short film accompanied to the soundtrack of his 5 track EP of the same title on Kill Rock Stars.[19][20] The film made it to the ballot for the 2024 GRAMMYS though did not make it to the nominations.[21] In 2024, indie pop band The Softies commissioned Marks with their video for "California Highway 99" on Father/Daughter Records.[22][23][24]
