Wow, utter crap. It's as if Thomas Kincade became confined to a high chair and was forced to copy postcards rather than paint romantic landscapes. Jack of no trade, master of none too. FFS.

Does this differ from art using pastels? (And why does this remind me of another crayon site?)

If you want to see what pastels can do, check out this guy. (I've got a print of this on my wall, but only to remind me to go up to Pasadena to look at the original periodically -- you can't see the texture in the print, which blows.)

including commissions from Burt Reynolds and a one-man show at his Dinner Theater Only Burt would own a Dinner Theater that has its walls covered with crayon drawings. My next road trip is definitely involving Southern Florida.

Am I supposed to find this drivel impressive because of the medium? I suppose one might argue that, in choosing to depict a child straining out a shit in a field of flowers and deliberately drawing the eye toward a cowboy's cock in a glibly derivative style, Mr. Marco is subtly undermining the colloquial understanding of the term 'kitsch'. But I wouldn't. Cack is cack, crayon or not.

That shit would look awesome airbrushed onto the side of a van.

These look like what you'd find in the same pile of prints they sell to niave freshmen at every single college campus on moving day. You find the same prints wadded up in garbage bins throughout the year. I've never understood the desire to portray crap in different media; its still crap, right?

Yes, but it is crayon crap! Nice find.

That's cool that he did all that in Crayon. Is it original? No, but he enjoys doing it. And somewhere out there is someone who enjoys looking at it. Displayed, possibly - just possibly - on a wood-paneled wall between a driftwood clock and a miniature of Elvis as an angel.
