A Large Scale Photography Book

"I witness empowerment in artists when they utilize crowdfunding platforms. Artists are messengers reminding us to stop and inhale. Mark's work is veneration of the magnificence of the male. These platforms provide artists an access to both their fans and new audiences, and they count on you to come through for them."

-Durk Dehner | President and cofounder, Tom of Finland Foundation

"Access to culture is just as much a right as any other, and the president seems intent on scuttling this right too. Shameful . . ."

"Whenever I was depressed or disgusted, I would feel him, that spirit inside, urging me back to living, back to drawing, I believe there is a lot to the world that can't be seen or touched, and if you turn away from that - especially if you are an artist - you are avoiding an important part of life, maybe the very heart of it."
