Artist: Marky GK

Where are you from?

Im from a small town in upstate NY called New Windsor. I currently reside in NYC.

How long have you been designing?

I have been doing art pretty much my whole life but I really got into design when I was 13. All of my friends were starting bands and I started out Designing demo tapes, cds, merch and flyers for them. Around this time I had also met one of the most influential teachers I have ever had, it was my Visual Communications class teacher Jeff Gebhart who taught me the groundwork I needed to begin becoming a “real” designer. So yeah 13 years Ive been designing….. Shit I’m old.

What connection did you feel with your charity?

I wanted to do something for a charity where I knew the proceeds would directly make an impact. The Kristin Brooks Hope Center (1-800-Suicide) has call centers set up all over the country and the lines are open year round 24 hours a day. I myself (many don’t know) suffer and have suffered from Panic Disorder and Depression. It felt right to pick this charity and help aid a company that is doing a wonderful thing for people who need to just talk to someone that won’t judge them and just knowing that people can have that kind of help by picking up the phone is pretty fucking awesome. The money donated will go to the people who sit there day in and out answering calls and keeping this program running.

Tell us about the design? How did it come to be? What inspired it?

Well I wanted to pick a famous historical figure who has been documented to have suffered from Mental Health problems. So I picked Abe Lincoln arguably one of the most important presidents we ever had. Obviously I added my style all over the design too. A lot of folks with Depression/Anxiety feel stuck and feel like it won’t get better. But it does and it can. Trust me. Working hard and taking positive steps to increase your mental well being is easier said then done. But once you start its like a snow ball affect and nothing can stop you. You can become president of the united states, own a clothing company, play guitar in a band and tour the world, anything. I wanted to do a shirt that inspires that.

How would you describe your style of design work?

Positive. I feel like any person in any sort of position that can influence others (on any scale) has a moral responsibility to provoke positive messages and feelings. I try to do that with all my designs (GK or personal art). But as far as my artistic style goes its no holds barred. I don’t try to keep a set style and always trying to learn new styles and techniques. But I really dig mixed media stuff working with Photographs, Paints and Pens and then bringing it all to digital and tweaking from there.

What do you do outside of art?
Aside from living at the Glamour Kills offices and design? *Crickets* I suppose I enjoy going to the beach, collecting vinyl, and eating food. Food is pretty good.
