    i dont have any sharpies dont even know if i could make anything halfway decent i will in the future have to invest in some and see what happens

    im treating this contest more like a workshop to give everyone a taste of what sharpies can and cannot do..ur talent alone would handle the draawing..the fun part u will see is the blend of color, shading, etc..but this is all for fun..would love to have there bro if ya can..oh btw..u can find 24pk of sharpies either at walmart..office dept or max and target..wink

OK I have not been around long enough to get the hints on this one unless you were suggesting Jean Cormier.. Love the little guy behind the Bishop. Nice colors and contrast. Thanks for spreading the FAR word. Keep them coming.

    i had a photographer tell me one time that all he can do is stickmen..really? well let me make a suggestion..do 4 stickmen standing around a barrel..on 3 of the stickmen make a triangle over the center part of the body..and on the 4th stickmen do a sideways figure 8 just below the head on the top part of the body...u know what u just created? a toga party with 3 guys and a girl on the movie "animal house"..wink

SOUNDS VERY INTERESTING, I'M HAPPY TO HEAR JEAN WON LAST YEAR, I PERSONALLY THINK SHES BRILLIANT. BTW, THE GLARE ON THE CHEST PIECES ESPECIALLY THE HORSE IS VERY IMPRESSIVE

Great work, so what else is new ??? Gives a great center of interest, makes you want to read the sign, and maybe even play chess. Great colours, well done.

    come join us in the contest..i do these contest to give folks a chance to experience this type of medium..many have used it but only to doodling when bored or make a small cartoon ..well that is what i see folks do at meetings in the corporate world...patti (in th top 5 for traditional artist this year) has been a photographer here on FAR..last year she got a pack of BIC markers and started to play with them. she makes awsome cartoons..this all more a workshop style contest u can say. if u get the time come join us and i do thank u for the great review.
