Marc's work is stunning and it has captivated me since I was first introduced to his sci-fi series, Home, by a Lev Gleason (Canadian publisher, not the artist) rep. His immaculate b/w newsprint style elevates the original photograph to a new level #Comics #ComicBooks #Photography #FilmPhotography

Absolute pleasure to have Marc onboard for this project, I finally found/made an excuse to work with Marc. His artwork is breathtaking and he's a true gent. If you don't check out his sci-fi comic book series, Home, then you're doing yourself a disservice. #Comics #ComicBooks #Photography
