Welcome + Hello
I *love* that you are on the hunt for a modern mobile. It means you are as passionate as I am about art that moves - which puts you in a very select group of art enthusiasts!
Affordable Art Mobiles
Hi, I'm Mark and long ago I made it my mission to create affordable museum-quality mobiles and stabiles for art lovers like you; one-of-a-kind original mobiles that pay homage to the masters, but are decidedly unique and timeless. I believe that fine art does not need to cost a fortune and I do my best to offer mobiles for every level of collector.
Every Mobile Is Handmade From Scratch
Each of my mobiles is handmade - crafted from sheets of raw metal that I hand cut, shape, sand, prime, paint, and turn into the designs you see here. It's important to me that you enjoy your mobile for years to come, so I'm committed to the details.

One-of-a-Kind Mobiles, Custom Made To Order
Unlike other larger makers, there are no templates, no pre-cut shapes, no mass production, and - despite the rumors - no team of elves. Just look at my hands and you'll know I'm speaking the truth. It's just me in the shop enjoying good tunes while creating fun and fine art for you. In other words, when you order a mobile from me, there is - literally - no other one exactly like it anywhere in the world.
Mobiles For Any Location, Every Occasion
Whether you're looking for a baby mobile for your nursery, the perfect accent piece for your home or office, or a special gift for that discerning art collector, I hope you'll find what you're looking for here in my shop. If you don't, please feel free to message me - I love to collaborate on one-of-a-kind custom mobile art designs with creative souls like you.
Durable Mobiles Designed To Last Lifetimes
All of my mobiles are made with 100% metal (rather than foam or plastics), galvanized wire, and multiple layers of durable premium all-weather primers and paints. This means your new mobile can spin indoors or out and will last for years to come.
Mobiles for Set Decorators, Museum Stores, Interior Designers, Galleries, and Collectors
I'm honored to create mobiles for a full range of collectors, from set decorators and set designers in film and TV (including Netflix Originals), museum art store buyers and museum retail operations managers, art gallery curators and art gallery buyers, interior designers and interior design agencies, and - hopefully - you.
Mobiles For Charity
I feel extraordinarily lucky and blessed to be able to create and share my art. As a small way to give back, I donate a portion of all proceeds to local and national charities, including Write Around Portland, Oregon Food Bank, Donate Life America (organ transplants), People for Bikes, and more.
