BRIAN JACOBS

Artist P: 216-702-7107 : brian-jacobs.com “Mars Violet Evenings,” a new novel by Cleveland artist Brian Jacobs, is available this winter as an e-book and also in paperback. As the main character, Marc Clemens struggles with his love life and creative vision. Can he use an artist’s observational skills to uncover the misdeeds of the administrator antagonists who bedevil him? Irreverent, enigmatic and distinctly imaginative, “Mars Violet Evenings” examines resilience in creativity and love while exposing the hilarious though maddening dysfunctions of a local art scene. Coming soon! See brian-jacobs.com for publication date and options for purchase and to learn about the painting pigment known as Mars Violet.
