Mark Anthony Brewer was born on a Maryland Army base and spent his early childhood years mostly in Europe and Asia. His family ultimately settled down in Chicago, where he stayed until he got enlisted in the Air Force. Although he had spent most of his life in Chicago, he never lost the wanderlust of his young childhood. After his graduation ceremony in High School, he returned home to find that his bags had been packed. He had been kicked out due to religious differences by his parents. He had already lost his football scholarship, so he was left with no money and few options which was a big challenge for him. He began working different jobs while studying video game design and playing football at the local community college. Mark eventually realized he couldn't maintain full time work and school without any support system, so he enlisted in the Air Force where he had a successful career as a military police officer. He won a number of awards and service medals for his actions in Iraq and Afghanistan, but he's most grateful for the travel opportunities. Unfortunately, his military career was cut short due to injuries received and he was honorably discharged as a disabled Veteran. Following his return home, Mark started struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder and depression. He participated in intensive therapy at the Veteran Affairs, where he spent countless hours over several years learning to cope and thrive with these conditions. It was during that time Mark turned to his love for art, drawing and tattoos. His hours of drawing brought him a unique meditative peace. It also left him with an overstuffed cabinet of drawings, journals, graphic novels and tattoo designs. After the birth of his beautiful daughter, Mark was motivated to do something with his collection. He compiled and published multiple volumes of adult coloring books in hope that they provide the same calm oasis for others as they did for him without learning to draw first. After publishing his popular series, Dr. Mann's Zen Trees Mandala and Geometric design series with his wife, Dr. Sarah Mann; he decided to go beyond the mainstream and compiled content that would appeal to various neglected niches. Now, he has dedicated himself to providing content that is tougher, grittier and sexier. He wants to make sure his fellow veterans and servicemen can color anywhere from the barracks to a corner coffee shop with pride. You can find his entire collection on Amazon! See less
