About
ARCADIUM HQ
Born into a world of violence, crime and hardship, Arcadium HQ founder Marley McDonogh had a rough start to life.
As a young child with no voice of his own, Marley made the decision to find an escape, no matter how small, in order to try to take what little control of his life he was able to.
One of seven children growing up in a remote community outside Darwin, he found refuge by finding ways to keep his mind and body as active as possible, or risk being dragged into the world he was being raised in.
He found he could escape by keeping active through any form of movement, whether it was working out with friends in parks (calisthenics), many sporting activities, skateboarding or gymnastics. Anything to keep his body active and his mind off his troubles at home.
Comic books provided his mental escape and Marley sought solace by burying himself in any comic book he could get his hands on, in particular, Judge Dread 2000AD, Marvel and DC comic book series.
With their constant underlying themes based on mythology, comic books were his escape over the years and it was these he came back to when deciding the path he should follow after a few brushes with the law as a teenager.
Fast forward 20-something years and it was while reading about Arcas, the greatest hunter who became the king of Arcadia, that it all came together. You see, Arcas was the son of Zeus. Arcas became the king of and the country’s greatest hunter.
Arcadia is a place of refuge in ancient Greek mythology and its significance has remained with Marley since he first read about it.
Arcadia is a place where everyone, regardless of their background, joined together to better themselves through building their power – in mind and body – that Marley saw this as the inspiration for the direction he wanted to take for his business.
