Tofino Artist Aaron Marshall

From the woods of Ontario to the beaches of bc. Surfing in Tofino, then the Big City—Victoria, Vancouver, Los Angeles. Aaron Marshall currently resides on Vancouver Island. His earliest influences stem from his big brother Andy who, while babysitting Aaron, pinstriped and customized hot rods and took him to car shows.

Other influences include Saturday morning cartoons—greeting from the Jetsons— B-movies, album cover art, music and skateboarding. Aaron’s work is rife with imagery from the collective conscious of these subcultures: slick ‘50s females lounge, space aliens lurk and beach bunnies bop to tunes from a transistor radio in the tiki bar surroundings of Trader Vic’s.

In May 2000, the La Luz de Jesus gallery in L.A. hosted Marshall’s premiere exhibit which was an immediate success; the show sold out almost overnight. He followed up with another successful show at Seattle’s Roq La Rue gallery. Marshall’s work has appeared in Super X Media and Juxtapoz magazine.
