Mark Maggiori: Contemporary Western Artist - Epi. 123, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I had Mark Magggiori on today. Wow, really an interesting human being. He's one of the best Western artists working today and I'm a big fan of his artwork. This is a Western artist who has 150,000 Instagram followers. Yes, you read that correctly. Having that many followers is kind of unheard of in the Western art game but there's a definite reason though and that's that this guy has an amazing background and can paint. He's the front-man for the French band Pleymo which was signed in 1997 by Sony records when he was only 20 years old and has sold over 100,000 albums. He was a rockstar, but he followed his dream which was to become a Western artist. He had this colossal epiphany which is amazing when you think about it. Someone who's trying to find their way, and they've been very successful mind you, and then all of a sudden seeing one painting in the Western Heritage Museum in OKC, Cowboy Hall of Fame makes a lightbulb turn on. This majestic Jim Reynolds painting started Mark Maggiori on an all-new journey into the depths of Western art. Mark is a very animated guy, quite a few little curse words here and there, but if you don't like that... well, you're going to miss out on an amazing podcast. When you have somebody that's passionate about what they're doing - it shows. For Mark Maggiori it DEFINITELY shows. This is one of those great podcasts that emphasizes why I do what I do.View available Mark Maggiori paintings here: https://www.medicinemangallery.com/western-fine-art/southwestern-contemporary-painters/maggiori-mark
