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

is he wearing a paper sack and if so how did he make the ears on it? I'm trying to do a similar costume.

The man in wolf's clothing?

@george
it's a drawing. that person actually never existed so he never had to deal with this costume-making problem you brought up.

Hey folks! It's supposed to be a mask, a costume. It's easier to see on the actual original drawing that the mask is a bit hairy. Unfortunately you can't really see that detail here. The drawing is basically about the act we put on, the masks we wear to appear tough, cool, confident, in control, etc. But below the surface we are mostly frightened little animals (Or, mostly full of sh*t). Let me know if you have a different interpretation - I'd love to hear it.
