Found your blog via boing boing, not sure how to mail you other than this comment block, sorry about that, but really dig the site. Keep it up, check mine out @ www.nolandsman2000.blogspot.com or my work @ www.andrewrisingart.blogspot.com Especially appreciate the posts concerning authenticity and plagarism. I'm a current grad student at CU Boulder I have been in a somewhat constant tiff about my suggestions being ripped off at face value and used as a clever way for lesser artists to get by. It's been a real point of contention with me that as authentic makers we remain at the service, and not the exploiters of art with a capitol A, nice to see some else concerned too. Take care-
Michael Mararian possesses a poetic propensity for taking traditionally cheerful images and concepts and turning them into frightening, yet humorous, tableaus. Focusing on children as the last bastion of innocence, Mararian draws on a diverse range of influences to deliver the peculiar ink work he aptly calls, M. Mararian's Inky Dreadfuls.
Raised as an only child in Massachusetts, Mararian delves into his fantasy of being a child among many. Primarily a self-taught artist and children's theater playwright, he is a graduate of the Art and Theater program at the University of Bridgeport as well having studied briefly at the Art Students League in New York City. Michael currently resides and practices his art in Buffalo, New York, with his wife Elizabeth and their three cats, 99, Mavis and Charlotte
