A wonderful visual presented here of this gentleman sitting in his backyard. You are a master of sharpie pens that is for sure they are not easy to work with, but you manage to create such wonderful visuals with them. You are very inspiring to those who want to try this type of medium. Thank you for sharing your wonderful art.

Mark, this a very impressive piece of art considering the tools used to create it. One would not think a sharpie could be used in such a creative way to present such a pleasing image. Good luck in the contest.

Mark, this piece is more than amazing. I like how you have used the light and dark colors to define the character and the background. I like the tropical scene with palms and other plants. Great drawing and everything is well placed in the frame.

Nice to see you. Well balanced presentation. Creative and attracts attention. Fine detail in background very much admired and realised a bit tricky with excellent effects. I think its a really good entry. Good luck

Without color distractions, this sharpie artwork let us focus on the soul of the imageâ€"pure and powerful. The notes are interesting. It tells succinctly how creativity has bloomed over the years.Nostalgia and artistry blend seamlessly. Well done, bro!

A good looking image posted here into the competition, together with interesting notes too. Your fine, full and appropriate composition suggests to me that you have an exotic backyard? Textures, tones and detail are fine. Well done and good luck!

I tell you what I really enjoyed the video and I also learned a little bit of sharpie pens. I always like your work and I bet a lot of other people on here probably do also. I am always looking for your flower people every time I see a piece of your work. I know that feeling about sitting in your back yard especially at night when it has been a hard day. This is definitely something different and I like it, very good work and I wish you the best in the contest. Keep em coming and thanks for sharing. JackJr.

Hi Mark. I've always been amazed on how you can blend sharpies so beautifully! I know you've done this for a long time and have a lot of experience but it seems like an impossible challenge....... In this image I can picture Crocodile Dundee gazing out in his backyard, though Italy nor be Australia! Lol
Very cool look. Love the way you use dots to give different shadings. Very cool look and fun to view! Good luck in the bw contest! :o) Nancy
