Dogs, possums, and a Manhattan gorilla rescue

Dogs, possums, and a Manhattan gorilla rescue

We're unbelievably lucky to be surrounded by such a loving, supportive, creative community and, occasionally, we like to celebrate them. So, without further ado, please meet Carlos Rodriguez. An in-demand dog walker, animal lover, and much-loved member of the MAISON 10 family, he's rescued wild birds, injured dogs, and even saved Kong, our gorilla mascot, from the back of a truck. This is his story.

One of MAISON 10's more colorful artists, Chris Marmier has committed everyone from Cleopatra, David Bowie and superheroes, drag queens on a Saturday night, a cross-dressing truck driver, and Tom and Henri's wedding to paint. Born in a bi-cultural family and living in several countries, he’s fascinated by wildlife, but everything around him is a source of inspiration, whether identity, gender, sexuality, nature, environment, culture, or politics. And each of his artworks tells a story. In this, the latest in an occasional series of artist Q&As, he talks about the voices he hears in his head, making a home in Homesterdam, and words of advice for a Barbie-loving little boy.
