The Art of Mark Greenawalt

Photography of bodypainting, fine art nudes, glamour, architecture and also artwork in conventional and digital mediums for fantasy illustration. And maybe even a little singer/songwriter stuff too from time to time.

30 years ago, the 80’s metal scene was still going strong in 1991. A couple of months after this photo, #Nirvana released #Nevermind. This was my band, Anti-M and all of us sang lead and harmony vocals. Scott Jeffers had just recently joined the band and we had gigs in Tucson at Jin’s Sneak Joint, Twin Peaks, and The Silver Dollar, plus a few in Phoenix at The Rare Hare and Hammerheads. It was a great moment in time for me and there was some original music created that still lives on! Comment below what you recall from this timeframe if you were there.

Which song do you think of? Sweet Emotion, Living On A Prayer, Rocky Mountain Way, Show Me The Way, Do You Feel Like I Do, Hair of the Dog, or….? Hopefully someday my new song Ride The Coast will creep into this list. Oh, and don’t forget The Zoo, Kickstart My Heart, and one of my favorites, Those Shoes! https://www.instagram.com/p/CRPdrH7sVfS/?utm_medium=tumblr

Go Suns! Our Phoenix Suns have won the first two games in the NBA Finals! @lorigreenawalt and I stopped by @phx.beer.co for a few flights, brauts, pizza, and a delicious soft pretzel. We obviously picked up a 4-pack of their special Suns branded Shazaaam! for game 3. #gosuns #phoenixsuns #beer #sunsfan #arizona #nbafinals #basketball (at PHX Beer Co) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRLGrf6shiF/?utm_medium=tumblr

Happy 4th of July everyone! Here is a little patriotic pencil drawing when I was about 16 years old. I still have it somewhere I think. Hope you are having a great day! #statueofliberty #pencildrawing #4thofjuly #markgreenawalt #art #unitedstates #usmap #ladyliberty (at Awahtukee Az) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQ6_lDPskKy/?utm_medium=tumblr

Ever heard of a Stylophone? My son, Sage, bought me one for my birthday in April. It was interesting then to see one on display at #TheMusicalInstrumentMuseum . Time to play it on a song soon! #instruments #themim #singersongwriter #markgreenawalt #Stylophone (at Musical Instrument Museum - MIM) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQS1zetHypc/?utm_medium=tumblr

I’ve had some really invigorating milestones along the way in my music career. Here was a solo showcase from 1988 at the Bluebird Cafe in Nashville. This week I am completing a 12-week course on writing songs for ads, film, and TV from Catch The Moon and I feel like I’m leveling up again. More music coming your way soon! @bluebirdcafetn @nashvilletn @catchthemoonmusicllc #songwriting #singersongwriter #12string #dreamer #synclicensing #markgreenawalt (at The Bluebird Cafe) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQL7TIpHZ4I/?utm_medium=tumblr

This was from the private screening of #scareus when I got to catch up with @jordanpillar who was co-director of “Dead Ringer”, the segment I worked on. I was the paparazzi for the second photo of lead actresses @charlottelilt and @xaeda1 . The film is available on demand now at fallingflamepictures.com . Who is up for a watch party??? @jasonwiechert @ryanhenryjohnston @briantooker @desireevarsha #arizonafilm #spfxmakeup @tomsandoval1 #imdb (at Cine Capri) https://www.instagram.com/p/CQFxorxnMMI/?utm_medium=tumblr

I haven’t been able to make my “inexpensive” violin to sound good. Today I played a “real” violin. I found out it’s not the violin. Just getting started on the 10,000 hours. I think I’m up to about 6 or 8 hours so far. Better sounds coming soon! (at Clear Spring, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPt32j8HFf-/?utm_medium=tumblr

The sound of cicadas in the forest. Wow. I hadn’t heard this sound since we lived in Nashville. https://www.instagram.com/p/CPquskxHllz/?utm_medium=tumblr

I had a great time reconnecting with Paul Pensinger and we even broke out the guitars and co-wrote a new song. Our previous collaboration was in the 80’s! While reminiscing I found out he was in the audience at the elementary school talent show when my “band” dressed up like KISS, makeup and lots of tin foil, and lip synced to a KISS record. I would love to find photos of that! https://www.instagram.com/p/CPoJOXbHvAv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Teaser for new music video coming soon. The song features @robertmasonvox and @coachdawna on vocals, #NicSterling on guitar, @roverdub on drums, percussion and lots of help on the video, and #AlOrtiz (Stevie Nicks band) on bass. The music video features 2-time Russian champion ballroom dancers @olunyaa and @antonsila . I co-wrote this song with #EdwardClapper and played all keyboards and saxophone. I'm anxious to share the full video once the song is back from mastering. Shooting for Black Friday! Enjoy this sneak peak below...
