Marcel Dzama illustrated TMBG's Bed, Bed, Bed book in 2003, and created artwork in the form of photographs for the band's twelfth studio album, The Else. On March 27th, a photo entitled "'The Else' rehearsals" was put up on TMBG's MySpace, containing a tree character created and previously used by Dzama (replacing Marty Beller on drums), and who are believed to be Danny Weinkauf (left) and Dan Miller (right) donning Dzama-esque masks.
His artwork "has been seen in art galleries all over the world," and he is often attributed as being one of the youngest artists ever to achieve a cult following. He has been involved with the infamous McSweeney's magazines, just like TMBG. A picture of him as a kid graces the back cover of the "Bed, Bed, Bed" book.
