Mark Humes (born 29 April 1974) is a disabled U.S. Army veteran, digital abstract artist, broadcaster and author. He was the owner of former Wpal- paladin internet radio and also on-air personality DJ guilewolf.[1] After receiving the news that mental and physical injuries received during his military services limited his job choices, United States veteran Mark Humes embarked on a whole new path.
In 2005 Humes founded a live-streamed radio station called Paladin Radio Wpal-DB. Humes (in a joint effort with the CAMMO-Centre for Military Music Opportunity), partnered with Mission one voice to give airplays to military artists and also use music to heal. Humes called Paladin a soldier of light.[2]
Humes later observed that words alone were not enough for the raw expression of his thoughts and feelings so he turned to producing works of arts that convey his emotion. Mark Humes is the founder of markhumes gallery in Kenosha, Wisconsin.[3]
Humes is also the author of the book Mindscapes: Volume 2 (softcover ISBN 9781364344573) published in February 2016.[4]
Music and broadcasting[edit]
Humes' background in music and familiarity with the music business is clear. His father played in the All That Jazz revue and some relatives have performed and toured in bands. Humes in the past played the bass guitar until the severity of carpal tunnel syndrome kept him from performing.[citation needed]
In 2005 Humes founded Paladin Radio Wpal-DB, a fully licensed internet radio station which streamed live and can be heard in various locations around the globe via online platform.[5]
In January 2013 Paladin radio was licensed as a content provider for Windows media guide and listed as Paladin radio in windows media guide; and in March 2013 became a member of the National Association of Digital Broadcasters.
Paladin radio was a RAIN awards single stream webcaster semifinalist in 2013. Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many
In February 2016 Humes established markhumes gallery in Kenosha Wisconsin. The Humes Collection displays the artwork of Mark Humes. Humes calls upon a mix of creativity and technology to craft pieces of art that pass on his feelings. His artwork does not conform to any specific genre or to any stylistic principles but rather is guided purely by his life experiences, which are the experiences of a veteran who states that he has seen and lived through too many things that no one should ever see. Humes strives to arouse emotions and bring out an enthusiastic response from his viewers.
Humes’ digital image can be printed on framed canvas prints, Metal prints, Acrylic prints and posters.
Humes refers to his art as his saving grace, and he attributes much of his personal recovery to the process of creating these boldly expressive masterpieces. His artwork is a way of sharing pieces of his soul and telling the essence of his tales without being compelled to remember each snippet of his difficult past. [3]
Writing[edit]
Humes is the author of the art book Mindscapes: Volume 2, published in February 2016.[6] Mindscapes shares his artwork with the world in one of the oldest of artist tradition, making art books.In this process he hopes to inspire disabled veterans like himself that they can turn their pain into strength. The book covers 15 of Humes' newest works along with a personal commentary on each piece.
