About
- Marc Johns’ drawings have been exhibited in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Vancouver, Athens, and elsewhere. A book of his artwork, Serious Drawings, was published by teNeues. His drawings have appeared in many other books, as well as publications such as 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, 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

Asterisk has 5 spikes, your's must be a starfish…

Hi Hannes, I was wondering if someone was going to comment about that! Both kinds of asterisks exist, it just depends on which typeface you're using (usually five-pointed in sans-serif typefaces, six-pointed in serif typefaces, according to Wikipedia). The asterisks printed on the keys of my Mac keyboard have six spikes, which seemed to look better in the drawing.
