wellll..im doing lot of my fellow old timers from my couples yrs of reviewing but how could u be the sharpie wanna be queen when u dabble in those other markers..see copic is designed for inexperience marker artist who dont know how to use ur basic maker technic..for example they create a blender pen to blend out the marker lines, which an experience sharpie artist can do that without a blender by doing a certain technic with sharpie or bic pens(besides i take advantage of those lines somtimes to create texture as example grass or wood)..also copic brags they provide over 300 colors(for a small fortune) for those who dont know how to blend marker colors and shading..another thing doris have asked urself "why do i get only a few reviews on 1st post even though u may review tons of others work" the answer is really simple...initial impact..u have to create(notice that word) the excitement to the viewer 1st 2 seconds they look at ur work with no explanation needed..ill make u a deal..if u contact lucien van oosten (a true penmaster of all marker brands) here on FAR and he gives u at least 1- 5star review on any of ur work, then ill do a tribute..deal?..wink..thanks for good review.

He has reviewed my works before...many times.
I never use blender pens, and no copics. they are too expensive. I buy the pastel sets of sharpie and bics. I have a few tombow markers not many of those. forget I suggested it.

Comment from david F
Oh I could't agree with you more , what he can do with a pencil , Incredible , almost as good as you are with your sharpies , this is so minimal but says it all and brilliantly too

thanks bro for the great review!

Comment from MinoYasue
I have to agree with you. I donâ??t think I have never meet artists who draw the people like he does with full of life, which is EXACTLY like your intermediate portrait in the artwork â?? wink!
The design in this one is rather simple (compare to the others), but the message is direct, and everybody know what you are talking about.
Thank you for sharing.

Comment from helvi2

Hi MK,

I'm behind you 100% on what you said about Fly! I'm not only in awe of him because of the tribute he's doing on the victoms of Sandy Hook, but because of the absolute realism of his drawings. THe detail he adds is absolutely amazing.

I was thrilled when he got the Artist of the month Recognition! I think he well deserves to be on your tribute list of artists here at FAR.

Love the way YOU did your tribute to him. I'm always amazed at what YOU can do with a sharpie! Very Nice work and a JOY to review!
:o) Helvi

Comment from Kbanich

Comment from CMNash
I absolutely adore these "tributes" you do of the artist on FAR, and you definitely got it right with FLYBOBROV he is one of the most amazing artist I have ever seen with a pencil. So very lifelike and realistic. They are stunning and so is your tribute to him. Of course I think I really like the monkey myself. Fantastic green eyes...hmmmm does that mean you might be jealous just a little bit...LOL Just kidding your art is beyond amazing. Great job.

Yeah when I never heard back on this one I thought I had insulted you with my jest, I am so glad to see it did not. I do so enjoy your little "roasts" on here.

oh i maybe slow at times only so much to do in a day..like today im off but hundreds of things to do including cooking..

reply by CMNash on 23-Sep-2013

I don't cook, not really cook very often because of my injuries and the fact that I tend to fall asleep out of the blue.
