Today on Stumbling Toward Genius I am excited to talk with one of my favorite people, Marcus McAllister.
Marcus is a French-American professional artist based in Paris for the past twenty-five years. In his acrylic paintings and long-term Sketchbook discipline, he layers figures, animals, text, abstract signs, and mystic symbols to create meaningful, dream-like glimpses of his inner universe.
I still remember the first time I met Marcus. It was at one of his Sunday Salons at his art studio in Paris. I left that evening with a new friend and two pieces of advice that have made a big difference for me in my own creative life.
Tune in to find out what those two things are, and to hear more about Marcus' artists' journey, including what he’s learned from 30 Years of Sketchbooking, as well as:
We’ll also spend some time talking about how artists are navigating the post pandemic terrain and the new opportunities available now.
Plus, in the video version on YouTube, we join the artist in his studio, where we’ll get an inside look at his sketchbooks and his gorgeous paintings—join us there.
