Here’s a recent interview with Marc Bell at books.torontoist.com, about his new book Hot Potatoe, about his style, and a bit about his move into fine art.
Here’s an excerpt:
Bell: I think it’s more that there has been a second wave of people that have been influenced by a lot of the same things. There was that whole wave of–there was the Royal Art Lodge, and Fort Thunder, and there was the work that you can see in that Nod a Dog book I put together. All that stuff was happening at the same time independently and now I think there’s a second wave of people doing that kind of stuff. Drawing, for example, is back in art.
