Marc Parchow

Marc's biography

I was born in the warm summer of 76 in Paris (France), where I promptly got infected by the virus of creativity. This rendered me indifferent to a lucrative career in banking, engineering or politics, so I majored in design with a postgrad in publishing and since then survived by drawing and making books.
I have a weakness for cheese with nutella.
