Mark, this is a terrific entry for the contest. The viewer can empathize with the subject matter. It looks as though the adult is taking the child away from danger. Your cartoon is very engaging. And not just because of the subject matter, the bold, bright colors and the action that you portray keep the viewer looking over and over again, wondering what the characters are going through that they are so frantically trying to run away.

A pretty dramatic scene of this Mother and daughter trying to run away from someone or something. I like how you have drawn the Mom's horrified facial expression and the motion of running, too. Excellent use of contrasting colors that makes this piece really sharp and well defined. An image with a story to tell, Mark. Another exceptional piece.

Mark, This is a fine example of your talent and prowess. Two people running down an exit ramp is not an easy task but your experience with figures shows. Your choice of primary colors work well. The best of luck on your partnering with Alex and the illustration of her story. Nice work. Ray

Your imagination always takes the wildest roads, my friend. Your sense of perspective and proportion is impeccable. The way you've captured depth makes the scene come alive. Bravo! A well-deserved SIX, your art is getting now.

Band on the run is my all-time favourite song. Thank you for presenting it. I love this scene where the woman is running like fire, holding her child and determined to escape from whatever she has to. Excellent conceptualization. Thank you for sharing.

    Well before the sharpie and bic marker I used to use the bic ball point pens only. Every now and then I'll sketch around with the ball point. Glad you have enjoyed this and thanks for the awesome review

This is the kind of image that has me anticipating with the story is behind it. So that makes good art for me if it doesn't stir up any emotion or get my mind really with thoughts that it's just another image. Your heart is never just "another image." If you know what I mean.
Great detail All the way around!

    Yeah Jewell I know exactly what you mean..that is why the contest committee ignores me. They vote on basic art 101 and imagination doesn't help. I have witness on one contest to they have voted away from topic.either way I will keep presenting my imagination and glad you have enjoyed this. Thanks for the awesome review

A good looking image posted here into the competition! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very good view of that pair of runners. Wonder what they are running from? Nicely drawn!
