With New Years resolutions rolling off everyone’s tongues like fibbery from an 11 year old arsonist claiming he didn’t know how mother’s prized magnolias were reduced to ash, I feel it appropriate to feature an artist that sets the bar so high some would claim he was telling whoppers himself. But I assure you, he isn’t.

Mark Weaver is an artist that combines whatever he so chooses into eclectic and amazing design centered collages. Not so far from gluing dinosaur heads into older sisters teen magazines, Mark seems to have a similar impulse for bringing together what society deems strange and creative minds deem genius. Here’s the real deal though; back in 2009 Mark challenged himself to “Create Something Cool Everyday.” And with such an adequate title, how could one go wrong? For all but two months of the year, Mark created something cool. Everyday. For real’s. So as a great toast to his awesomeness, and to the hopeless train wreck of motivation we are with our resolutions, I invite you all to follow Mark Weaver’s incredible example and make the world a way better place by creating something cool everyday. Cheers!

I'm a storyteller at heart. It's hard for me to separate myself from the stories that I read in books, see in illustrations or hear through music or poetry. I am the characters. They are my problems, they are my adventures. Some storytellers find themselves restricted to words alone, but I feel that certain stories should be unleashed in a variety of mediums. There are even stories that demand it. We've all had an experience where an image, song or poem drilled deeper into our existence than we were ever willing. But its there and continues to be a part of us. I'm attempting to do the same. My main focus is the visual side of storytelling but I continue to write music and poetry and I perform often. As my experience broadens I hope to have an everlasting and positive effect on those that are willing to take a look, have a listen and become part of the story with me.
