Hi, Everyone, My name is Mark A. Lakin,I'm an artist in Topeka Kansas. I've been a artist on an off for thirty years. Started as a airbrush-shirt artist, 1976. In the 80's, I was a custom auto airbrush artist and caricaturist In Tucson. Arizona till 1991. I also in that year my artwork got on the cover of Truckin Mag. The next thing I knew, God looked down at me and said did you have fun in 80's, then I said oboy did I and God said, not any more! I got really sick, my kidneys stopped working and and after extreme amount of tests, from arizona to kansas the doctors said I had paracardious (a virus around my heart) might not live through the night. Well after two in haft months and a alot of antibiotics I got well then after recovering, in 1995 I had to retrain my self how to airbrush in arcrylics on canvas and walls for a new career. In 1998, after painting a 20 ft. mural at the house of the doctor that saved my life, God said watch this and I started to go blind. Within 6 to 7 days I found out that I had MS. I then said, what's that ? Well, did you see that little dot on your brain, a yeah, that's MS oh how cute, trying to humor my self in this dire situation, well you probably know the rest. So trying to start my career once again on copaxon, for the next ten years,
