I’ve been struggling a bit with motivation (who isn’t in this bizarro time) so everyday I try to tuft one or two colors at least. Little by little it adds up. Hope you enjoy Ozzy the Owl.

A piece I made for a friend who I wanted to introduce to tarot and loves poppies. Bonus pic with Ollie! #tufting #poppy
A rug depicting a poppy radiating out purples and greens into a celestial circle of stars and moons. It lays flat at an angle on a wood floor. The artist and his cat lay on a rug depicting a poppy radiating out purples and greens into a celestial circle of stars and moons. The poppy is about twice the size of the artists head to give a sense of scale. A rug depicting a poppy radiating out purples and greens into a celestial circle of stars and moons.

My least fav part finishing wall rugs is sewing hooks into them. Getting a needle thru all of it & then hiding the stitches is DELICATE. I’m always worried I’ll mess up but other methods like gluing, I’ve found the hooks will eventually fail & rip out. Sewing it in is the tried & true way for me!

After my big monstera “Vitality”, I made these two mini versions. At some point I’d like to do a collection of different leaves and flora like this. Maybe next!

Toucan Terry was a fun exploration of color blocking — and how many I could use together cohesively. I love him! Now he lives as a wall hanging zoom background. #toucan #interiordecor #tufting
A rug depicting a toucan looking right while wearing a yellow color blocked hoodie. The artist looks to the right in the same orientation as a toucan rug in the background. He’s wearing a rainbow tshirt and has a buzz cut and dangly earring of a die.

This was a commission for a friend of mine whose partner loved peacocks. He wanted something that incorporated that and their dog. I was really pleased how much detail I could get into a small space!! #peacock #dog #rug
A rug depicting a male peacock and a pitbull. The peacocks tail feathers wrap around the dog’s face framing the rug. The background contains yellows and oranges to make the blues of the peacock pop.

Throwback to my first (and hopefully not last!) piece in a museum. Still one of my favorites I’d love to make more if anyone is interested 😉 #fiberartist #tufting #monstera
Quintin, the artist, stands in front of his work being featured at Somerville Museum. He’s wearing a rainbow drip tshirt and smiling. His piece is a monstera rug in his typical neon rainbow style and it sits under a staircase surrounded by paintings and other works. A monstera leaf rug made out of bold neon colors. Two feet are shown at the bottom to highlight the piece’s scale, about 6 feet across. A monstera leaf rug sitting below a staircase, it is tucked away and still manages to catch the viewer’s eye with its bold neon colors and scale.

Ollie’s favorite rug. #tufting #rug
A cat named Oliver Pickles lays splayed across a tufted rug depicting a monstera leaf. The rug is composed of neon colors stacked on top of each other to make the leaf shape. Ollie looks up towards the camera as if wanting to play.

Hello world! My name is Quintin Marcus, and I make rugs. Here’s my latest one! It is inspired by my friend Angbeen Saleem’s short film titled “Billo Rani”.
A rug depicting an olive skinned woman with neon yellow cheeks and a calm expression. She has a pink unibrow which is elongating off her face and transforming into two arms that embrace her face and frame the piece.
