What does a career in art look like if you’re not selling paintings to galleries? That’s the question Mark Marando’s lifestyle web portal is setting out to answer with a new editorial series spotlighting unconventional art-related professions.
Sydney based Mark Marando lifestyle web portal to commence publishing a series of features on unusual art related careers starting with storyboard artists.
Mark Marando (markmarando.au) is an online magazine run by Australian Bloggers, covering lifestyle, travel, and fashion for the discerning web reader. The site also weighs in on health, diet, fitness, home and garden topics, plus practical guides like choosing a chiropractor or home builder. In short, it aims to offer something for everyone.
Also worth a look: Toys for Tots shows how one mother went from recipient to volunteer, proving a toy delivers more than holiday cheer and Pop star Tiffany faces her drag-queen doppelgänger in new dark comedy ‘Dragged Off.
The editorial team decided to pivot after fielding repeated reader inquiries about what other career paths exist in the art world beyond the traditional gallery artist route.
Kicking off the series is a profile of Dean Mortensen, the founder of Scenes By Dean, a storyboard and visual concepts artist. Based in Sydney, Mortensen has worked for over three decades as an art director in advertising and film. His credits include features, serial dramas, short films, and television commercials, and his skillset reaches well beyond standard storyboard narratives.
Mortensen also develops visual concepts for events and activation agencies, film production companies, and retail brand activations. As a freelance storyboard artist in Sydney, he brings deep experience to helping clients visualize and bring their projects to life. More about Dean and his work can be found at https://www.scenesbydean.com.
Mark Marando, the founder of the lifestyle magazine, explained the new direction 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.
