Marc Johns: Serious Drawings

book-cover

Marc Johns has a book of his Serious Drawings coming out in April? Sign me up! I’m a huge fan of Marc’s decidedly not-so serious drawings, and giving them the art book treatment ups their surreal, silly, sublime powers tenfold.

    Thanks for the link to Marc John’s work. That guy has some awesome stuff. I love the simplicity, playfulness, and wit of them. They don’t take themselves too seriously, nor due they complicate the message though laborious and unnecessary details.

    I kind of think we are drawing soul mates in a way, as I’ve been doing something similar since 2006. My drawings aren’t better than yours, but they are a little more elaborate. Most of them were drawn at work using a combination of doodles and computer. I call them “Dordles.”

    My goal was really not to have a goal. I tried to keep them all different.
