I'm Mark Schwendau.
I draw and I write.
I am a retired technology (CAD-CAM / web design) professor after 40 years of teaching. I am living the retired life in the Rock River Valley, an area known for artists, writers and musicians. John Deere began his creative life just 21 miles from my home! Country singer Mo Pitney grew up even closer to me! About 100 years ago, people like me would have been called a "technical artist". That is a title I wish to bring back to life today. I have had a long sideline of newspaper editorial writing where I used the byline, “- bringing little known facts to people who simply want to know the truth.”
For recreation I used to be a pretty decent softball pitcher in slow pitch leagues. Today my recreation includes driving my Jeep, riding my Harley, golfing and fishing. Most important to me is time with my wife, children and grandchildren.
To the left are some of my most significant works I hope will live on long after I am gone. Some are copyrighted with restricted use while others I hold the copyright to and will freely grant you permission to reprint them with credit given. If in doubt, ask.
I thank God for the gifts He has given me. It has been a fun ride. I also want to thank the folks at Autodesk for making AutoCAD software. Becoming expert in that program has put a lot of food on my table!
I spent a year writing for Community Digital News where I was recognized as a senior staff writer and one of the top writers in their stable. That online news source was working to report the news neglected by the mainstream news media or covered in bias. My two areas of expertise were the 2020 Election Theft and the Covid-19 scamdemic and related fauxccines. I contributed over 200 articles in my time with them before they ceased operation.
I was nationally recognized by What Finger News when I drew a correlation between the "Death Spiral States" identified 20 years ago and how they are all blue states in serious trouble today. You can review a PDF of that article below. I also had one of my articles shared on the social media platform of My Pillow's CEO Mike Lindell for an article on election fraud.
These days I am a regular contributing writer to the Independent Sentinel and you can get my thoughts there.
I am avilable for public speaking (ABOUT ME) on a variety of topics I have something to say about. My opinions are not always popular but rather than identifying as left or right, I am a realist who has little tolerance for make believe. I call them as I see them and back what I see with logic.
About Me
