When most people think of careers in art, they picture painters selling canvases in galleries. But the team behind the Australian lifestyle portal Mark Marando is about to challenge that assumption with a new editorial series.
Sydney based Mark Marando lifestyle web portal to commence publishing a series of features on unusual art related careers starting with storyboard artists.
The online magazine, run by Australian Bloggers and known as Mark Marando, covers lifestyle, travel and fashion for discerning web readers. Its pages also explore health, diet, fitness, home and garden topics, along with practical advice like choosing a chiropractor or a home builder. In short, the site aims to offer something for everyone.
Also worth a look: Toys for Tots shows how a single gift can turn a struggling parent into a volunteer and Sev Ohanian and Avedisians to be honored at COAF’s 23rd gala in NYC.
Now, responding directly to reader inquiries about what other art-industry jobs exist beyond selling to galleries, the content editors are launching a series of features that highlight unconventional creative careers.
The debut installment profiles Dean Mortensen, the founder of Scenes By Dean, who works as a storyboard and visual concepts artist. Based in Sydney, Mortensen has spent more than three decades as a concept illustrator and art director in both advertising and film. His portfolio includes feature films, serial dramas, short films, and television commercials, and his expertise goes well beyond drawing storyboard narratives.
Mortensen also develops visual concepts for events, activation agencies, film production companies, and retail brand activations. As a freelance storyboard artist in Sydney, he uses his extensive background to help clients visualise and bring their projects to life. More information about Mortensen and his work is available at https://www.scenesbydean.com.
Mark Marando, founder of the lifestyle magazine, explained the reasoning behind the new series in an interview with Eleven Media. “The website blog has been experiencing great growth in visitors to the online magazine over recent years. The management team have listened to the feedback survey from website visitors as to the content and experience they seek. The team have seen the importance of also staying at the leading edge of technology to keep in touch with clients the way they expect and to communicate in the best way possible the array of information provided to all visitors to the website.”
