Lovely artwork of this bear as he is in the field of yellow grasses and full moon in the background. The mc Donald logo I popping from the trees is a nice surprise.
Best of luck in the contest voting,

Nice creative approach. I could see this on a holiday card! The colors, details, lighting are all wonderful. The overall presentation is wonderful! Thanks for sharing.

    Just a helpful warning, don't fall for those hallmark contest. The last one offered a $1000 prize! Of course it will be applied to the hallmark card making course that cost $1500. That way you can brag that you won the contest and had to pay $500 too! And hallmark think that this is a Great Deal! I have no respect to this company and never ever buy anything ever again..wink..glad you like this and thanks for the great review.

Love the scene of this bear in the middle of the golden prairie. This is so cute that I can see the Mc Donald sign board at the farthest background. I love the textures of these dried grass blades indicative of Fall. The title has a story to tell with great sense of humor. Excellent drawing skills and expertise. Love the choice contrasting colors and prominent textures. This piece is absolutely well-defined. Another masterpiece, Mark.

Wow, this is a fantastic artwork and funny but at the same time quite a serious problem that you have highlighted here. This takes dedicated effort to a time consuming process. Great attention to detail, great colour, texture and composition. Very well done and good luck in the contest :-)

Mark you have a wonderful sense of humor and for all ages. I like the fact that you did not try to explain this humorous and adventurous cel. You let the art and the title tell the story. Ray

    Ray I believe that if the reviewer cannot gasp the jest of the cartoon if the 1st few seconds then the cartoonist has failed what he or she is trying to express. Wink...thanks for the awesome review

    You are welcome, I feel the same way. One shouldn't have to explain the art. Ray

HI Mark, I've always loved the fact that you have a wonderful knack of adding humor to your images. I know the other side of you too, where you can be quite serious. We know that bears are attracted to dumpsters and making this a McDonald Dumpster adds a nice touch of humor. If I were a bear I be attracted to it too! Love that you have the bear standing. This is almost like he's telling other bears, "Good eating ahead!" Love the whole setting of this! This might not be what other artists would expect but it so tells the story of nature. Love how you put the McDonald sign way in the background. Very Cool image that took thought! I enjoyed Good Luck n the Contest! :o) Nancy

Comment from Molly Torsvik


The bear-bear is here
With its wandering eyes,
It looks to everywhere
In a searching surprise.
Dark eyes are glowing
in the dreams around,
when night's blue flowing
in searches never found.

    I'm sure this critter would find a dumpster. Nowadays McDonald's is a easy find. Wink. Thanks for the great review.

An interesting image posted here into the competition! Your notes and composition suggests to me that the dumping is taking place a long way from that bear? Nicely drawn!
