 BIO
Marly McFly is a self-taught artist from Newport News, VA. He began pursuing
his passion for art as a child drawing everything from cartoons, comics, action
figures and athletes.

Drawing influences from his surroundings, he incorporates the ever changing

world of pop culture into his work, expressing his inner thoughts and
experiences. These are captured through layers of bright bold colors and
patterns coupled with popular and relevant images from his childhood which
are utilised to express himself.

His work is the perfect mix of two prolific genres of contemporary art; pop and
urban street art and has successfully exhibited in major international markets
including New York, Paris and Tokyo, to name a few and has collaborated with
brands such as Nike, the MLB, NBA, Nickelodeon, Montana cans and lucasfilms.

 CURRENT WORK
In his current body of work ,McFly takes a break
from his usual style to offer an incredible range of
exclusive original and limited edition new works.
This current offering is a vibrant mashup that
parodies the seriousness of celebrity. Using
inspiration from his childhood, this latest body of
work titled “I Will Not Chew Gum in Class” is a
satirical look through the eyes of his character “Lil
Zook”.
Zook is a street art vandal who uses his eyepatch
and bubble gum to humanize larger than life legends
and icons. He brings a whimsical playfulness to an
array of art and pop culture figures ranging from
Marty McFly to Basquiat, Michael Jordan to Princess
Leia.
