marc johns


i saw Marc Johns' art on a blog sometime back (i don't remember which blog unfortunately) and i loved the simplicity of his designs and the adorable captions. Marc's "Serious Drawings" are absolutely ingenious. it's also rather nice to see his work transformed into tattoos. the lovely genuineness of his uncomplicated drawings is so eye-catching and interesting. his art is completely irresistible!

ps- don't forget to enter the giveaway!

  7. oh i absolutely, absolutely love this! i always love discovering contemporary artists - i am often so stuck in the past, doing all of my academic stuff on brilliant (but long-dead) figures, and i just love learning about brilliant (and alive!) artists.

hi! i'm Lena, but you can call me Lulu. i love Frida Kahlo, feminism, art, reading, kitties, and drinking tea. i love the film Amelie and i think that the tiny traveling gnome has stolen my heart. i want to own a bookshop and live above it one day. i get quite passionate about things. i tend to think too much. i'm kind of a hermit.
