Hey!
My name is Marcus, an art director born in Singapore & raised on long-plays, sitcoms and old Pokémon games. Now I’m in New York, into framed art prints, into youtube documentaries, into childhood hobbies I can’t seem to drop, in a food insider video I don’t remember signing a waiver for, and in too deep making Mischief.
Here’s a list of other stuff I’m into.
