My name is Marcus Kwame Anderson. I make paintings, drawings, comics, music, poems and whatever else moves me. Welcome to my site. Click on the Paint and Ink link to view a collection of my paintings and drawings. I update that section pretty frequently when I finish a new piece. Click on Contact if you need to reach me for information, prices, or commissions. Check out the Comics section for my latest stories and installments. For some musical soul food check out my group, Inkog and Mr. Gone. I have a blog too. Keep checking in for updates.

Peace and Blessings.
