I really need to get back to the “live art sale” shows I did in 2022. I haven’t made enough videos where I show off the Mark Rushton Gallery web site and talk about what’s in there.
This past week, I added 5 new “book paintings” to the gallery, bringing the total to over 35. That’s probably enough, for now.

I’d like to pivot in the direction of portraits and experiment with that subject matter. A couple days ago, I received the Poooli Print XL, a Bluetooth thermal printer. I have their original pocket printer, and have enjoyed messing around with it, but the pocket printer’s images are very small. The XL prints up to 4.3” wide - still small for some, but a decent size for what I want to do.
And what do I want to do?
I’d like to make “low-fi” thermal prints of images, colorize and mess with them using ink and paint, and scan the image for further reproduction via printed media. It’s along the same lines as Andy Warhol’s silkscreen prints of photos.

This past week, IG and YT moved up, but everything else stayed the same. IG posts seem to be doing way better than Reels these days. I made 3 “short” sped-up videos of painting. And I did 10 “live” art videos, mostly of me working and rambling, and none of me selling. I didn’t send an email out, which was my fault.

Who am I?
Hi, I'm Mark Rushton, a professional recording artist and fine artist who has managed to hang on to creativity.
As a fine artist / painter, I make original abstract landscapes on paper and canvas, limited edition prints, and functional merchandise.
As a recording artist, I've released more than 2500 music and sounds on streaming services since the early 2000s under many different names, including my own. I largely create ambient, beat-driven electronica, and avant-garde music and soundscapes, as well as field recordings and sound effects.
