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

One bird, three legs, I've seen this before : http://www.awful-drawings.com/post/11990241386/thelist

Hi Jim, I've never seen that one before. If you really want to get into a "he thought of that before you" kind of scenario, I drew this piece about being reincarnated into an unfortunate object back in 2007, long before Awful Drawings/Matthieu's list on Tumblr.
Also, I've done many drawings with people with extra limbs in the past, like this man with 3 arms from 2008, this man with too many arms (from 2006 - that's before Tumblr even existed), and this man with too many legs (also 2006). Who's copying who now? Extra limbs has been an ongoing theme for me.
I know for a fact that Matthieu's been inspired by my work. He's been in touch with me, he's a nice guy, and good at what he does. I'm not going to bother throwing around accusations of copying based on a single image, and neither should you.
