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.

I deliberately left it vague. It was less about specifics, and more about our desire to see things through the eyes of those we admire, looking for some kind of wisdom or guidance we are lacking. However, we should be taking our masks off and looking at the world through our own eyes, because our own point of view is unique and fascinating and worth sharing, especially once we are honest with ourselves.

Reminds me of Faulkner

Same here. I think I will only be able to see the beautiful things in the eyes of my love ones and those whom I adore so much. I think it's because, these people compel us to only see the positive and happy things.
