“I’m an artist first and a businessman 88th so doing any of my art to get ‘rich’ has never been an issue.
All I need is that people, especially kids see my work and hopefully they are inspired to do likewise or at the very least are curious to find out the history behind such images. I’m a massive history buff, how could I not love everything Roman with a name like Marcus! “
