You would have gotten the other half star if it had been a lamb. Now here's your chance, cause it's open season on Christmas. I am a lamb who stories say followed someone to school. I'm here, teach me.

Mark, this is a wonderful tribute to the professionalism of Lucien. His work is stunning, detailed, and just a wonderful medium. Terrific design in this piece with very
nice colors against the black background for a very stand out piece.

I am going to check out your mentor. This is a very interesting piece. The bull with the knives in him must mean something.

This is one cool tribute. I love how you represented his craftsmanship with the painting and all the pens around him. Putting yourself in the shot as you did plays up the fact that you consider him the master and you the student. Very well done.

Comment from Anne


This is too funny. I hate to think what you would do to me if this is what you did to Lucien. He is certainly a pen master. I like the way you have the bull in the center and all those pens around him pointed right at him if he moves at all. Now I guess that is you standing at a save distance from both Lucien and the bull handing the pens to Lucien and staying out of the way in case that big all bull decides to gets the know you know what out of there. Now is Lucien holding on or what with those funny looking legs. . Maybe he dropped the red pens and is hoping the bull doesn't see them before he can pick them up. But he looks like he has has his arms glued to the side of the dish so maybe you just decided he had made enough points and hung him up to dry up there along with the bull. Guess you were tied of replenishing him with shapies as he used up the ink making all those little bitty points. Neat and creative work.

    I am the queen of mispellings just trying to be helpful.
    Hey my hubbie is a trashman, so don't worry about the job. Honest money is fine.
    I have had to borrow internet before and it is a pain in the butt.
    I was calling your monkey the alter ego...
    not that you have a bad ego.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


I am honored by the piece, but my hair isn't that white, at least not yet! (laughing)

I will have to say that the your dark background isn't in line with the brightness of my artwork.
But I can see the images coming from the depths of my thoughts on how to draw them using dots, and that definitely comes from very deep and dark caverns.
Thank you again for the honor in creating this drawing.
how did you know, blue is my favorite color, did that spy birdie that keeps flying into my window, tell you?
take care, this is very much appreciated... Cheers!!!
Lucien

What a nice tribute to Lucien and so beautifully composed and drawn. Your depiction of his pointillism buffalo is excellently done and a very nice touch! Your work always makes me smile!
