Interview by Jimon<\/p>\n

Currently you live in LA, what would be your second choice?\u00a0 <\/strong>If I could live anywhere I would have to go with Barcelona, Spain or on my own land in the mountains.<\/li>\n
How long have you been making art and what lead you to start?\u00a0<\/strong> I have been making art since I was around 16. I was heavily influenced by skateboarding culture. Artists like Mark Gonz and Ed Templeton were definitely my favorites when I started painting. The reason why I started making art was because I felt like my hometown was lacking art \/culture and I always had the urge to create. I guess I was just trying to surround myself with things I wanted to see. No one in my family or town really expected me to be an artist. It was like no one understood me growing up and painting got me through a lot of hard times.<\/li>\n
How would you describe Al Marcano?\u00a0 <\/strong>Hard working, manic, and thankful.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
