EmployedBiography:
Marc Rust was born in Washington, DC and was raised in the American South. At the age of 8, he moved to Paris, where he lived until the age of 21. This clash of cultures has given him unique perspective on culture and design.
Marc has always had an attraction to designs with unusual materials. He has studied drawing, pottery, stencil making, sculpture and music. Some of his other forays include collecting vintage microphones of the sixties and seventies as wall as playing the guitar and singing.
It's the things that are normally perceived as being used and obsolete that Marc finds fascinating, the humdrum that provides him with inspiration. He sees new forms generated by a combination of elements which would otherwise be forgotten or outworn. His sculptures are the ideal contrast to the fast turning world of consumerism that are his signature. Marc currently lives in Boston where he works as a graphic artist.

Cow Parade of hell
Have you heard about the Cow Parade? I currently live in Boston where like in many other big cites we have the Cow Parade. Basically it's these huge ugly cow sculptures spread throughout the city. I find them to be the most boring bland corporate art I have ever put my eyes on to put it lightly! I mean geesh! Is this inspiring art? All it serves to do in my opinion is make me sick and show the tourists more crap from our city.
I know that these sculptures will be auctioned off for charity. I think that is great however, I do not think it is an excuse for bad art and design. In my opinion there is no excuse for bad art.
You can see what I mean at http://boston.cowparade.com/
It looks like someone went up to a bored artist (or non artist) and asked "Could you please turn this blank cow into a bland peice of crap? We'll call it art.
Please someone come up with a better idea!
