Identity is a recurring theme in my drawings. I've always been fascinated with the way people try to define themselves. For instance, ever wonder how many self portraits on Flickr or Myspace actually look like the person in real life?

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

Awesome. My favorite recent creation of yours. There's a lot of layered meaning in it.
