oh wow, i love how vibrant the colours are in this drawing and how expressive the faces are. ironically enough, i had a dream about 2 clowns last night... one looked like the thing from IT but it had 3 vertical/zig-zaggy streaks over his eye and the other had red eye makeup and a head like a balloon (white face, red sides on the head). i actually have no idea why i just typed that or why i'm continuing to, but it is a huge coincidence. great drawing

    Oh yeah I know him! It is IT crack head cousin. He haunts only the drug addicts. so if you see some crackhead out on the street claiming someone is chasing them really they are. Now if the crackhead would throw his drugs at the spook it would stop chasing them. Course the crackhead would risk his life instead. Now if he was snooping in your dreams he was passing thru just seeing if you were up to no good. Course he does move on when he finds out your normal. There is protection..if you have a cat or dog the spook is scared of them..do you believe any of this? What do expect from a illustrator who makes up stories? Evil grin..oh I loved the story.. always gives me ideas to draw..really I haven't any artist block in a long.time .all of y'all give me great ideas..wink..thanks for the great review

This is a fantastic tribute. I love the creativity here, but then again you are always creative. The different characters that you have combined here are very unique. The colors are also very bright. Well done and thanks again for sharing. :)

Comment from Daphne Oberon


This is fabulous art of course, but leaves me wanting to know what the magician is doing and what the three legged stick is? This may be a no brainer for most but I am not familiar with the supposition here...

    Oh Daphne I totally understand since your a newbie that your not aware that I do tributes of fellow members of this site. I don't blame you for not reading the artist notes to this. Most folks try to write a book of what they are trying to draw. However that's not the case on this and others. If you notice above the title there are other tributes to this book. See I intergrate that artist signature style of work that others know with my lil ole sharpie and Bic pens. you know if you go to fanmusic or YouTube.com and look me up "mkflood" you will find 19 illustrated music videos of a wide range of topics and music..some will make you laugh..some will make you think..some will make you tap your foot and some will make you cry..the admission is free but you have to bring your own snacks..mine taste flat...wink..thanks for the review

Another fun piece to view. I get the sense of wonder that a child feel as they watch a magic show. I love the yellow and purple robe and bright colors . I also enjoy the simplicity of the illustration .

Comment from Trajan


Another fine piece here MK. I love the colors and your fine pen work. Of course we would expect nothing less from you.
The only thing here that is a little off is the clown's right hand (or left from his perspective). It seems a little small to me.
Otherwise, its a nice piece and a fine tribute.

Superb work and a great tribute to the young artist. I have always enjoyed his works and his skills with the coloured pencils. I think this is one of your best illustrations. Standing and clapping!

Hey. I have been kind of on sabbatical as far as reviews go. SO, I apologize. I am happy one of yours came across my screen. Your work always makes me smile. The comments are truly original. Anyway, this is another fine work of art. Well done.

Great tribute to a great artist. I do think that all his work is very humorous and creative. I love what you have created here. The colors are as magical as the artwork. That black background was a very good choice to show off your work. Very nice presentation.
