Marc Johns

Marc Johns' drawings have been exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Athens, and elsewhere. A book of his artwork, Serious Drawings, was published by teNeues. His drawings have appeared in many other books, as well as publications such as Wired, Newsweek, and the New York Times Sunday Magazine.

His work is blogged about by someone, somewhere, every day, and many of his fans have tattoos of his drawings. He lives with his wife, two sons, and his drawer full of pens in Victoria, BC, Canada. Marc is not sure why he's talking about himself in the third person...

I generally aim to say as much as possible with as few elements as possible. My work often leans toward humour, and finding the humour in things often leads to finding the truth. I like to create absurd situations, by combining things together that don't belong, or imagine what inanimate objects would say if they could speak. My artwork and the materials I use are quite compact. My studio could pretty much fit in a suitcase.
