Marcus "the visual" Williams

On this podcast I sit down with a talented artist, illustrator and community activist Marcus "The Visual" Williams.  We discuss his independent comics and artwork and how he promotes it to children.  Also we Geek out about the new Marvel Cinematic Universe.

 

A long time lover of video games, comic art, and all things animated, I’ve dedicated my young artistic years to fine tuning my illustration muscles by way of freelancing. Over fifteen years later, I’m catching my stride and still ever growing in hopes of being a well rounded illustrator.
Stationed in Atlanta Ga, I spend most of my time toiling away late nights on everything from illustrating children’s books, comic art, to random character commissions and more. A proud father of two, I somehow manage to steal enough time to create loads of artwork and check homework. I’m excited about the direction my comic properties are heading in, and I look forward to creating more forms of visual entertainment and stories to enjoy
