About the Author: Marc Rubin is an oil painter, award-winning graphic designer, and avid doodler from Elmira, New York. An accomplished artist, he is best known for his soul-full, still-life renderings that pique viewers' imaginations, invoking curiosity about the stories behind the objects represented in layers of paint, seen as magical pools of light. Similar to the traditional Dutch painters Vermeer and Rembrandt, Rubin finds inspiration everywhere he looks, his paintings relaying relationships between everyday objects. Through his skillful use of technique and brush manipulation, Rubin pushes and nudges paint into sensual and emotionally charged renderings. His work has been featured in art galleries on the East and West coast. Over the last few years, Marc has explored a visual form of storytelling--doodle illustrations digitally rendered. This form has taken his drawings to new and, at times, satirical heights, flooded with the delightful colors of a digital palette.
