The Southwestern Bellows Volume One is now available for pre-sale!!

Exciting announcement: 

I HAVE AN ART BOOK!!  

THE SOUTHWESTERN BELLOWS VOL. 1 is now available for pre-sale! What you see before you is a curious hybrid creature--an artist's book that is also a book of illustrated short stories. This is my first such volume, and I hope it will be the first of many. It is also a tome of esoteric Alien lore and an accounting of events that transpired in a faraway land: a human breakaway civilization called the Southwestern Bellows. 

The Book is available through SPIRE AND SCRIBE--a freshly formed fine art imprint by Josh Rowan and Travis Lawrence--the team behind the tattoo-focused BLACK DAGGER BOOKS. These guys did such a good job putting this wondrous creature together. I am thrilled, crying tears of joy, and my six-chambered alien heart beats with gratitude blood! Order this book today!!

Pleiadian Meditation Instructor and Advanced Mindfulness Coach, Dee Mager, had the most embarrassing problem: He couldn’t meditate. He couldn’t focus for more than a few seconds before his mind would wander. He constantly reached for one of his many communication devices to check for notifications or was tempted by the gambling games on his handheld joy-time apparatus. Dee was terminally distracted. People were starting to unsubscribe from his channel and drop his meditation classes.

About:

Hi, I’m Mark Rogers!

I am a narrative artist currently escaping reality through painting and drawing. My work is set in an imaginary world called Southwestern Bellows, a fictional human breakaway civilization where the supernatural, magick, and the paranormal intertwine with daily life…in the 1850s. I've always been fascinated by the intersection of history, mystery, and the unexplained, and Southwestern Bellows allows me to explore these themes in a visually rich and imaginative way. Inspired by medieval art, UFOlogy, creepy mysteries, history museums, the occult, and fairytales, I create paintings that are sometimes spooky, sometimes funny, that play out in this strange and dangerous fantasy land. I hope my art invites viewers to step outside of their everyday lives and experience the wonder and intrigue of a world where anything is possible.
