4. Tell us about the t-shirts on your blog? http://mynameismarcus.com/ What was your main inspiration behind them?
All my t-shirts have been designed by mistake, last minute, or have taken me a total of 1 hour to do. I don't put any thought into them. All my shirts come from ideas I've had while talking to someone, either something they said or "this would be an awesome t-shirt", so I would design it and post it on their Facebook wall the next day for them to order haha.

Below are some of my favorite Marcus tee designs.




5. I’ve known you since we were about 12/13 and I must say I respect your work and everything you’ve done as an entrepreneur. I always look forward to all your endeavors. So tell me what you have in store for the future
Thank you very much sir, much appreciated coming from a fellow entrepreneur. Right now, my main focus is Open Road Music & Arts Festival (openroadfestival.com), an earth friendly and sustainable music & arts festival happening on September 4th, 2010 at Institute Park in Worcester, MA. On top of the great live music, there will be an eclectic variety of cuisine, many local artists and vendors, family-friendly activities and much more. Live music kicks off at 11:00 am and will proceed until 6:00 pm.


Also on my plate is a re-design of Perfect Evolution perfectevolutionstudios.com, then a big push to get more design work, which is my main source of income right now.



6. Please give a shout out to some of your homies?
