"Mark Warren Jacques lives within a web of art makers, musicians, skateboarders, and backyard revolutionaries. This close-knit community thrives on representing a sort of whimsy that harnesses the energy of idealism and is rooted in earthy spirituality. Lest you conclude that he lives in a world of naivete, Jacques will surprise you with his gusto to love, question, and commit himself to the realities of hard work, ambition, and responsibility to his community."

About the print:
The Things I Think Dangle From Me Like This is a piece about self awareness and self exploration. The diamond shape with descending steps of blue into outer space represents the mind and its structured infinite nature. The dangling charms are our beliefs, our knowledge, and our truths, if you will. We wear these truths for all to see - they are our history, and in many ways, our self-worth.
This is a digital print on acid free, Neenah uncoated matte 100lb cover paper that is 80% recycled. It was digitally signed by the artist and was numbered by The Working Proof.

Why did you choose to pair Farm Sanctuary with your print?
I chose to pair my print with Farm Sanctuary because I love animals.
How have you seen art transform the world around you?
I believe that art is proof that we should keep it up and continue living and learning. Whether or not you believe that we will have another shot at life, we can all agree that we are here now, and that by seeing and creating, we are learning. In my opinion, if you can make your creations positive, or at least honest, then you are doing the world better.
If you could pick one artist to mentor you, who would it be?
I've been lucky enough to have had my mentor. His name was John Piper, and he was a beautiful and kind man that taught me what it is to love life and create from that love.
Who are some artists you think people should know about?
The American Analog Set, Tauba Auerbach, Jimi Hendrix, David Wien, William Kentridge, Chris Duncan, many more.
