I am not American so Blues City, which I assume is in the south, holds little meaning for me, but if there are angels, there will also be male musician angels. I did visit the south once and brought back for my memories, rather large school girls many of mixed race clamouring at shops for sweets and such - all that good american cheap food, an old black guy I passed, sitting in the sun outside of his home, I think made of wood,/our houses are all brick built because of the rain/ in a rocking chair, and very clean and brightly coloured streets.

I remember..you told me you lived in Arkansas..each southern state is different. However blues goes back decades..it can be about the rough times..it could be about the agony of love..the blues is truly the Father of rock and roll..thanks for reviewing this oldie..oh if you look close in the drawing it represents icon areas of Memphis starting with the bridge.

Mark, your work leaves me with no words to describe the beauty you can get with sharpies.
the colors are always vibrant and precise.
Wonderful job.

This is incredible! It's a very well thought out and rendered scene, the Angel above the city, looking down. Awesome attention to the details, beautiful colors and tones very well applied! I love the night sky with stars and the way you show the city lights in the distance. Very well presented! Congratulations on winning this contest!

This is an unusual guardian angel, but a guardian never less. He evidently protects all musicians and artist who too often are not aware of dangers.
Your drawing is expertly composed and rendered. The colors are appealing and adequate. The framing is perfect. The composition is balanced.

Great drawing of this boy angel resting on the roof of a city, probably contemplating whether to take an addition in the sun studio production. Coloring in the drawing is nicely presenting the white wings on the angel.

Old age, and say, a little Bourbon?:)) I'm an expert on old age--78--and I can assure you such creative and interesting images don't come to me. I guess it's just talent. Oh well, I'll keep trying. Meanwhile I can enjoy your stuff. Thanks and cheers, James.

Another great piece! It all just seems to go together! I really like how you kept the marker strokes as is, in the guitar, giving it a wood grain appeal. Just one super piece after another from you! WOOHOO!
