Serious Drawings by Marc Johns
I first featured Marc Johns’ drawing, the boxes we put people in, in 2008 and I am so happy that I took the time to revisit his website. Johns’ comedic drawings are as creative as they are funny.
I generally aim to say as much as possible with as few elements as possible. My work often leans toward humour. Finding the humour in things often leads to finding the truth. I like to create absurd situations, by combining things together that don’t belong, or imagine what inanimate objects would say if they could speak.

I really enjoyed this post. Stopped by the site expecting to see the intriguing art that generally captures my attention – instead, I gained a rare smile in the midst of the workday.
