Religious undertones are often found in Marcus’ work, where in concepts found in biblical scriptures are played upon, never specifically stated, but hinted at. “I never saw the bible as being concrete dogma, but rather a collection of books which simply dealt with every facet of human existence, from shagging your first lover, to being depressed.”
Marcus’ characters are usually crafted out of opposing forces. The Sheppard must be both tender and strong. He must utilize traits central to the female, as well as the male. Character’s like reluctant prophets, cowardly fighters, sympathetic monsters, all of these creatures with opposing personality traits fascinated me. They build tension all on their own, because tension and contradiction are inherent within them, breeding obstacles both within the mind and the characters’ world, as well as any other who would dare cross their path.
On a side note, 'starry Sky' has been completed by freelance artist Jay C James.
