Hey Marc Johns!
So I'm a high school student in Silk Screen class and I was wondering if I could take some of your drawings and turn them into shirts, but put my own spin on it. I know this sounds risky, but I would credit you on the shirt and would not never ever ever sell them in an attempt to get profit for myself. I respect artists, and I respect you as an artist, and absolutely do not agree with screwing people over.
Please let me know, this is a weird place to put this information, but it was the only way I knew how. Please email me back if you have the time!

Hey Jordan! You can always email me - my email in on the Contact page: http://www.marcjohns.com/blog/contact.html

As for using my drawings on t-shirts, I'm afraid I must say no. It's too risky for me to let things like that end up on shirts without a proper license agreement and such. This is my livelihood we're talking about here :) Believe it or not, I do this full time now, and support my wife and two kids, so forgive me if I'm a tad cautious. Thank you for being so respectful, by the way. You seem like a swell guy with the right attitude.

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
