Sasha Toten • Bi-College News • February, 2008 Philosophy might sound like a daunting subject to discuss, especially if you have never taken a course related to it. But what if you were discussing it without books, in a café, on a weekday night, amongst people from all different age groups and backgrounds? This is what has been happening at the Milkboy in Bryn Mawr town every third Monday of the month, from 7-8:30 p.m. (more…) The Ghosticorn press tsunami pummeled suburban shores this week thanks to our new friends at Philly Edge. We know, we know… you’re staring at the logo.
Philadelphia Weekly features a flattering blurbicle about my clothing line, Ghosticorn Apparel, in this week’s “Pop Rocks” column. Don’t read the article while drinking soda or you’ll explode.
You can’t swing a dead cat around the the office of Philadelphia’s City Paper without being arrested for disturbing the peace. You’re also bound to hit a Todd Marrone-related article. Here’s a roundup of recent ink:
Kristen A. Graham • Philadelphia Inquirer • February, 2007 Paints are plentiful in Todd Marrone’s modern Lower Merion classroom. Brushes? Pastels? Markers? Heavy, creamy paper? Available in abundance. Unlike some art teachers, who struggle for resources to keep bare-bones programs afloat, Marrone and his colleagues at Welsh Valley Middle School in Narberth are lucky. “The supplies are fabulous,” said Marrone, a Starburst-tossing, game-playing, enthusiastic teacher whose frenetic energy sometimes outstrips his students’.

Todd Marrone likes to dash around the room and slather paint on giant rolls of paper. “It’s all a matter of preference,” says Marrone, a Narberth-based artist whose work, in addition to appearing in bus shelters and train stations around the region, will be on display at Milkboy Coffee in Ardmore starting July 7. For the show’s opening night, Marrone decided to eschew the traditional wine, cheese and black turtlenecks for a livelier presentation: He will paint along to the musical stylings of local band the Levelheads – thus ensuring, in his words, that “the house is properly rocked.” (more…) Holly Love • Main Line Today Magazine • March, 2003 Give Todd Marrone an inch and he’ll decorate it. On this morning, the self-described “modern art revolutionary” begins at the Narberth train station. To most people, a train station is a place to catch trains. To Marrone, it’s an empty gallery awaiting exhibits. (more…)
Jim McCaffrey • Main Line Life Newspaper • December, 2001 Todd Marrone is a quick draw artist. He may be the best known unknown artist on the Main Line. Thousands of people have likely seen his work — he hangs it on telephone poles, leaves it in train stations and puts stacks out in stores. Recently some were set out like lawn signs with each piece signed boldly “Vote Todd.” Marrone is currently creating line drawings – 40 to 50 of them at a sitting – by squirting black acrylic paint from a glue bottle.
