An artist and a father
Unlike his father, though, Nathan is primarily an artist and musician. He is a member of the band Vacuum and primarily works as a cartoonist, having worked with Matt Groening at Bongo Comics in the past.
He is one of two creators of the comic strip 2 Dumb Dinos, and his website also adds: "He was raised on a healthy diet of cartoons, comics, movies and toys, which informed his personality and artistic sensibilities." With his former partner, Nathan also welcomed a daughter named Autumn, who is now eight years old, making Mark a grandfather for the first time.

'Favorite second son'
Griffin is a visual artist and painter, like Nathan as well, but primarily works as an operations manager and instructor at a martial arts academy in Santa Monica, California. He has made several public appearances with his dad as well, and his public social media page is mostly a collection of music and archival clips.
Mark shared some insight into his son's personality with a birthday tribute in 2019 that read: "Wishing the happiest of birthdays to Salaka Kuchimba (aka Griffin Hamill). Martial Arts Instructor, gifted painter, animal-lover, loving son and a true friend whose unconditional support means the world to me," often calling him his "favorite second son" in subsequent tributes.

"It's fun to be together like this," she told the publication of attending events with her father. "As you get older, you start treasuring the times you get to spend with family."
