@MarkOnArt@mindly.social

Georgia based visual artist. I spent a decade working in cubicle land and then took a career break to travel that never exactly ended. I support myself with my Digital Art and Photography - Do I miss a steady paycheck? Some days, yes, but overall I love creating too much to imagine going back.

Currently raising funds for cataract surgery (see links for details).

Cataract update:

For those who have been following awhile, some good news that I'm afraid I'll jinx myself even saying it. I have my first surgery scheduled for Feb 25th! KNOCK WOOD!

The procedure itself isn’t a big worry. The primary stress is the financial side, with a minimum of about $2,000 out of pocket on top of regular bills.

Updated #Introduction

Gen X Artist/Photog who only recently embraced my gay/queer identity 🌈

Love TV and Movies while Sci-fi runs in my veins (Star Trek, Transformers, Doctor Who and so on)

90s alt rock shaped me but still like new music.

HSP introvert but will talk your ears off once I know you.

Still caring for my Mom with dementia, though she is now in the nursing home across the road.

Proud cat dad forever.

Always happy to connect with folks with similar interests, especially LGBTQ+ and fellow geeks! 🖖

Photo of a white man with shaved head wearing glasses and a slight smile. Has a t-shirt with a Batman symbol on it.

Two cats sitting on the back of a chair next to a window. The cats are both ginger with white markings and their heads are pressed against each other.

Colorful artwork that shows two men under an umbrella together in the rain. They are seen from behind and the umbrella is casting a shadow across their heads silhouetting them.

Photograph of a misty morning with brilliant light reflecting off the mists over a body of water. On the opposite shore a gazebo is in silhouette.

Although it's still winter, how about a woodland path flanked by bluebells for "Forest Friday."

Digital art showing a curving sandy path through a woodland setting. There are trees ascending out of frame and bright sunlighting in the backdrop. All along the path are pockets of light and shadows and there are vibrant bluebells growing both in the puddles of light and the shaded spots.

Grateful to someone in North Carolina for choosing this Statue of Liberty print. In times like these, it feels like a needed reminder. 💙

Digital art showing the statue of liberty against a blue sky surrounded by the words from the famous New Colossus quote that reads:
Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!

I keep saying I really need to rewatch the movie. Do you have a favorite quote or scene from it?

Hope you enjoy something a little light hearted for this fine Caturday? This one was based on a photo a friend shared of her cat lying on his belly. It looked to me like he was swimming and thus... 😹💙

Vertical canvas print leaning against a wall. The artwork on the canvas print shows two men embracing almost at the point of a kiss. The men are depicted with realistic forms but not realistic colors. The backdrop is a swirl of color that gets brighter towards the middle and darker towards the edges.
