Ink on paper, 5x7 inches. The original drawing is SOLD available. I think that if I were a pot, it would feel good to finally get a chance to wear pants.

okay let's do this
The original drawing is SOLD available. Signed prints are available for $20.
A call-to-action. A mantra. A let's-get-on-with-it-shall-we. Get some chutzpah. Let's give it a shot, in our own little way, even if we are small or weak (like the fellow in the drawing) or shy or unsure or entering the unknown.

he had knowledge
I was drawing on corrugated cardboard today. I like the familiarity, the texture, the thickness, the physical-ness of it. It's a nice change from the polished look of white paper.

I am SUPER honoured to be featured on Rebecca Silver's 10 Answers today, a site that "serves up daily interviews with creative minds from around the globe". She's put the same ten questions to a wide range of creative folk, including heavy weights like Maria Popova, Paula Scher, Ed Fella, Debbie Millman, Oliver Jeffers and (Oprah's design guru!) Nate Berkus. You can read my 10 answers here (mere mortal that I am).
My advice/answer to question #8:
BE YOURSELF. Your uniqueness is a thousand times more fascinating and valuable than your ability to conform.
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
