Who’re you?
My identify is Marcus Williams, aka Marcus the Visible; you’ll to find me on-line at Marcus the Visual. Oh, guy, I’ve all the time beloved artwork. I’m a personality fashion designer, however persona design is what I suppose excited me to attract all the ones years when I used to be a child. I believed I sought after to do animation, however that’s no longer actually the place my pleasure comes from. I like growing characters. Looney Tunes, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Sonic the Hedgehog, Side road Fighter, all that was once very persona pushed. That’s what I’m nonetheless doing now.
How would you describe your artwork genre?
I’m in reality an amalgamation of numerous folks. Bruce Lee had 3 other masters, proper? However ultimately, he in reality got here up along with his personal model of all of that. And so, as a child, I attempted to attract like everybody I simply named. Now jointly, as a result of I studied all of the ones other types, I will pull and more or less mix anything else I knew from them. And so I get a hold of one thing like that [Williams pulls out a print from his “Old Ninjas” series]. Some folks can more or less eyeball this and say rings a bell in my memory of one thing. However in the end, it’s a mixture.
What’s going via your head as you draw?
What do I need to put across, what sort of power do I need this to have? It’s virtually the similar factor a photographer is making an attempt to border one thing attention-grabbing. However I simply focal point on persona. So any persona artwork that I create, I need it to inform a tale, what’s going to make anyone snap to this? So I suppose the development of this all comes down in anatomy, dynamic power, such things as that. I don’t all the time assume that occurs with everybody. You’ll be able to have a personality status utterly nonetheless, no longer doing anything else, and nonetheless be very engaged.
What’s your giant present challenge, and the place can folks to find you?
I’m running with a spouse of mine, Greg Burnham, on Tuskegee Heirs. It’s a futuristic sci-fi motion journey set 80 years from now. It options 5 younger pilots who’ve been educated by way of the Tuskegee Heirs, however all through a time the place manned flights are more or less unlawful. However the chief of the Heirs appears like they’re gonna should be the ultimate defensive line by contrast ominous danger. Seems, he’s proper. So it’s very cool, very anime-inspired, and it seems to be as much as the historical past of the Tuskegee Airmen. We love what we’re doing is every age. We’ve been running on it since 2016.
You’ll be able to to find me on my site, Marcus the Visual, and my Instagram.
