Turning "I paint
sometimes" into
an actual career.

Originals. Murals. Commissions. Follow along as I build it — one weird painting at a time.

Join the Commission Waitlist Hire Me for Something Weird

Create weird art.

So, who's making all this weird stuff?

I'm Mark — artist, designer, and professional maker of things that probably shouldn't work but somehow do. I've been making stuff my whole life; this is just the part where I finally started calling it art out loud.

Right now that means bold color, way too much texture, and painting ordinary things — bagels, boxers, blueberries — like they deserve a portrait. I have no idea what kind of artist I am yet. That's kind of the point.

Some Recent Weirdness

A few things I've made lately. More (and the process behind them) on Instagram.

What I Do (Officially... Sort Of)

I'm keeping this list loose on purpose. If it's weird and creative, ask.

Originals

Buy something weird. Available original paintings, one at a time.

Commissions

Let me make something weird for you. Pet portraits, people, food, or something stranger.

Murals

Let's make your wall weird. Big color, big walls, big commitment.

Workshops

Come make weird things. Sessions where nobody has to be good at art yet.

Other Weird Stuff

Live painting, collaborations, installations, or whatever weird idea you bring me. I'm not going to pretend I've thought of everything — ask.

Want me to make something weird just for you?

I'm opening a limited number of commissions for original artwork. Tell me what you're imagining and I'll reach out when I have an opening that feels like a good fit. Joining the waitlist isn't a commitment to buy — it just gets you in line.
