A nod to Rene Magritte, Damien Hirst, and all of my art history professors.
I've always been interested in how art is analyzed by critics and historians, and wondered if the artist ever gave it as much thought as they did. I like to be helpful, so I thought I'd provide a clue for anyone analyzing this one.
ink & watercolour, 5x7 inches. Original available in the shop.

About
- Marc Johns’ drawings have been exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Athens, and elsewhere. He has just published a new book of drawings:
I MADE THESE DRAWINGS FOR YOU. His first book, Serious Drawings, was published by teNeues.
His drawings have appeared in many other books, as well as publications such as National Geographic, 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 Kristen, two sons, and his drawer full of pens in Victoria, BC, Canada. Marc also finds it strange to talk about himself in the third person. Read more

I've always wondered that too! Nobody ever thinks that they just made art for no reason.
Why do we need whys?
