HI, I'M MARK
Artist + Futurist + Keynote Speaker
Hey there! My name is Mark Warnick, and 3vies is the pseudonym I use for my art. I am an artist, futurist, writer, poet, storyteller, energy connector, photographer, engineer, designer, founder, creative director, inventor, and father, but above all, I am a creator. I start things—things that move me. I am deeply curious and annoyingly optimistic. I also strive to be respectful to every person with whom I cross paths.
I find myself most comfortable with kind, creative, passionate dreamers. Those are the people and stories that really move me. The ones who see a world no one else can see and then bring it to life. It’s probably because I consider myself an endless dreamer at heart.
I am no one important. I don’t come from money. I don’t have titles, nor do I value them. I don’t really have any actual reason for people to care about me - in a social structure, I mean - and yet I surprise and intrigue most everyone I meet. The energy I bring to a room, conversation, or project is noticeable. I am a vessel or conduit for positive energy to flow into the world.
I live an ordinary life in an extraordinary way.

SPEAKING
I sit at the crossroads of art, creative entrepreneurship, and intentional living. Most recently, I gave the closing keynote at the Circles conference on the topic of “Create The LIfe You Love.” In the past, I have spoken at events from internal company conferences to intimate gatherings. I would love to come and talk with your audience or team about my work as a futurist and artist. Let's connect.
MAGAZINE
I started 3vies magazine to capture my journey of learning to live life intentionally, hoping to inspire others to wake up to life. What began as a passion project continues to grow and amaze me. Each volume corresponds to a year of my life. So, volume 30 contains all the articles, poems, photography, interviews, and learnings curated together and published when I was 30. Volume 31 was curated and published when I was 31, and so on.
I also created 3vies as a type of laboratory to test ideas and figure out how to run a business. I am a big believer that we learn by doing. So, instead of going to school to be told about business, I decided I would just jump in and try to figure out how to build the life I wanted. As a byproduct, I built a brand/business I am happy to spend my life building.
I spent 3-4 years prior trying a ton of different ideas, but 3vies and the magazine was the first process that made me feel alive. I fell in love with the process. That is the biggest trick to have a chance to stumble into success. Find a process you love more than money, and it will pay you back 100-fold throughout a lifetime.\
WORKSHOPS
I spent the past several years creating and refining a framework for bringing ideas out of your head and into the world. I have also discovered methods that can help you and your team begin to create an environment/culture of action and innovation systematically. Check out more info.
YOUTUBE
I publish videos centered on my journey of making my art. I like to show some behind-the-scenes photoshoots and interviews for a series I created called “People Who Inspire Me.” I travel around interviewing artists and creative entrepreneurs to learn the decision-making patterns that lead them to develop their unique lives and how they navigate it all. Come follow along.
WHAT DOES 3VIES MEAN? (pronounced “twah-vee” in French or “3-vee” in English)
3vies is French for three lives. The idea is that if you live your life intentionally, you can accomplish three lives in one lifetime.
