Hi all,

Been quite a while since I've posted here, but does anybody know what happened to Mark Swanson (the artist)?

Trying to find anything current on him has proven unfruitful. FB page hasn't been posted to in a couple years. Nothing on Instagram. Website is missing.

Looks like he was a talented artist but not such a talented business man

Hmm, thanks. Awaiting an e-mail back from a Disney art dealer I know to see if he has any additional info. (Swanson does / has done a lot of Disney art)

I used to periodically get emails from him and Kerri regarding prints or originals, but it has been at least a couple years. The previous website is down. Feel fortunate to have several prints.
If I hear something I will post here.

^ Cool, thanks a bunch...if you have an e-mail for him you could PM to me, of course I don't mind following up directly

Wow. I was just about to post the same question. No one knows anything?

Saw an article where it says he has moved back to California. https://www.arcurrent.com/arts-culture/2016/02/17/arc-professor-puts-his-mark-on-the-art-hotel/
