Unique, inspirational, colorful, a tribute to cultural artifacts and so much more. Interesting perspective to show him from the back. Make me wonder. Good work.

Comment from donkeyoatey


Mr. Jones is one of my long time pals..he is a lot of fun, has a wicked sense of humor, has unusual tastes in collections (great fun) and a wonderful wife and little boy..you could not have picked a better guy! I am sure this thrilled him, and may also get his mind off the trying on old clothes fetish! LOL! donkeyoatey

Great choice in colors which really make him stand out like he should. The flag is a nice smooth and rich backdrop to layer on top of. I think you did a great job. Good luck

Good Afternoon

Well created image. The elements are detailed and crisp and clear. They are also interesting and fun images. The background sets the stage for the stage well for the subjects shown.

I like the submarine and car and plane and the gentleman. All nicely created.

Roger

Comment from Grumpy Taff


I kind of like the mish mash of images in this picture. Not quite sure what the monkey means . But a well drawn image all the same.

Comment from BruceHeming


I enjoyed looking at this painting and believe that it could be framed and hung in a child's room. I am a watercolor artist and can see the artistic flair that this artist has but there is a limited amount of shadow detail and it is not consistent throughout. The sun or light source seems to be coming from the upper right and it is inconsistent as to its strength and is not on all of the man. I believe that you have a good talent and can see composition that works. Good job

    thats ok bruce! and u wont see any more shading on this as intended..i know i must be new to u but this illustration was just a collage tribute and i purposely float over the flag which my many fans understand the meaning of this one peice. however if ur looking for shading check out my 300 works in portfolio and i know u can find as much shading as u want...wink..thanks for the review.

Hats off to not only Mr Jones but MK Flood as well! Great job here MK with lots of interesting things to look at and oops, there he is again! That little brown monkey with his bowler hat and flag giving us all the thumbs up. Very clever, very interesting and for Mr Jones very special!

    You're not only " the monkey" in the tributes , you're one very clever and somewhat unpredictable monkey! The way you pounce reminds me of the monkeys in the trees at Phi Phi island in Thailand. They just sit there watching everybody sunbathing on the sand and when someone gets up to go for a swim , they pounce and steal their stuff off the beach and scamper back into their hidey hole and if anyone gives chase they scamper off into the surrounding jungle! It's hilarious to watch! I'm sure you'd have a ball drawing that scene! Lol!
    You're one clever dude!

    Talk about lol! Honestly your comment has "cracked me up" I'm still holding my sides laughing. Great way to start the day, your wit is legendary and sparks the imagination. Now I'm seeing all your cousins up in the trees wearing bowler hats! Thanks MK!

Love the "cheeky monkey" and all the hidden details in this work. Bold colors in the Union Jack. And the derbys are too cool.
