Father of eight-year-old illustrator Charlie Marker - a previous guest on The Common Creative. Marcus's recent personal projects have captured global attention. His explorations into AI have led to viral sensations such as "What if Antoni Gaudi designed regular household appliances" and "What if graffiti tags influenced the architecture of the buildings they once adorned?"  These projects gained significant traction, being featured in renowned publications like Forbes, Trendhunter, Designboom, Cool Hunting, and even landing printed pieces in Germany. Marcus was also interviewed by The Guardian UK about his groundbreaking work.  In light of the growing influence of AI in the creative industry, Marcus is interested in exploring how we, as humans, can utilize this power for social good, or if it's too late to control its impact.
