Greetings. My name is Mark Campbell. Some know me as Mark D. Campbell, illustrator & graphic artist who’s helped create and maintain brand identities, product packaging, and advertising for such companies as Gillette, New Balance, and Staples. Some know me as Coach Campbell, a dad on the field, helping to coach baseball and Holliston Panthers football for many years. And, kids know me as Mr. Mark, the goofy art guy who’s been teaching kids about art and design, forever!
But right here, my name is just Mark. I’m a single dad faced who recently faced a dramatic medical situation with a lime-sized brain tumor, which came with insurance complications. But, instead of lying down, I chose to pull up my sleeves and offer my own artwork and music up for donation, in effort to raise money to defray overwhelming expenses.
By good fortune, luck, or the grace in the power of positive spirit, I was blessed with brilliant surgeons, amazing family and friends, and an incredible network of support, and had the tumor removed. However, despite the surgical success, the malignant nature of the tumor continues and further treatments will need to be pursued. A link to a more detailed update can be found below.

Currently, I am making efforts to register Limes for Life as a 501 C(3) charity, to hopefully raise money to help others in my situation. I continue to offer my work and creativity for donation to support this initiative, as well as exhibit work in galleries around the area. The most recent show in the Dana Hall Gallery in Wellesley, MA displaying over 100 pieces.
