Marc Johns.

I’m in love with the dry wit and tongue in cheek humor that is an integral part of Marc John’s illustrations. And he believes that humor leads to truth, which is awesome. And true.

“I use watercolours in ways you shouldn’t. I make my own sketchbooks. If I smoked, I’d roll my own. I’d rather draw than rent a movie. Don’t try to start a conversation with me about recent films. I haven’t seen any. I play the guitar. If I was a hobo, I’d learn to play the ukulele, because you could fit one in your duffle bag. My artwork and the materials I use are quite compact. You could fit my studio in a large suitcase. I hope you like my drawings, or at least some of them.”

How can you not love that??

    HA! These are great. They remind me of the “Tales of Mere Existence” series by Lev Yilmaz. Check the videos out on YouTube, they’re hilarious.

    LOVE them! Especially the Do Not Disturb. Imagine if someone took that idea and turned them into neckties? You heard it here first!
