Default Crayon Artist!!!

I thought that crayons were for little kids!! Don Marco, a crayon artist does portraits and other realism art using crayons!

Marco Gallery

Although I am not "into" realism I am totally amazed by this man's work produced via crayons.

He's amazing! Makes me want to run upstairs and grab the box of crayola's. Of course the only problem is that all my pictures would still look like stick figures ;)

I recently saw him on a TV program and it is amazing what he does with a regular crayola!! There was a young lady that was studying his techniques and learning from him. It was pretty interesting, and his work was absolutely stunning. I would never be able to move past the coloring books or stick figures. Some people are just born with artistic talent ~ wish I was one of them!!

He could spend a lot of money on Copics, but I don't think he needs them!

Oh, my!! Gorgeous!!

I wonder why he decided to choose crayons as his medium?? I read the little bio but it doesn't really say. Regardless, his artwork is just phenomenal!
