ABOUT ME

Hello, I'm Marcus.I enjoy drawing, painting, reading comics and playing retro video games.I don't have any pets. I like dogs but I'm allergic to cats, which isn't usually an issue.I'm currently starting to become an actor. I've starred in 5 films.I play guitar, bass, keyboards, mouth harp and ukulele.I collect cameras, mostly polaroids.I'm really into antique video gaming.A few of my favorite artists are Jamie Hewlett, Ashley Wood and Osamu Tezuka (with whom I share a birthday).My favorite holiday is Halloween. I usually go all out and make a really awesome costume.My dream is to be a cartoonist. I went to college and studied studio art and now I'm going back to school for graphic design.I'm huge a trivia buff. And I watch tons of movies.I love to eat good food so I'll probably want to know where all the good places to eat are in your town.
