I am particularly drawn to that angry blue bird with its fierce scowl. That poor wounded bird in the sling and head bandage elicits sympathy while the black eyed red bird seems to be the trouble maker.

Nice! Awesome video. I can't imagine how much work went into it. Very very creative and fun to watch. Have you tried doing actual animation?

    If your referring to make them move..only if I'm a digital artist or do the old fashion cellular film with paint ..here is the thing..I'm sure you will notice many artist will dabble into do many artist mediums. It's kinda like they haven't figured out what they want to be when grown up. I was already a pen cartoonist when sharpie can't into the scene..Bic ballpoints were already out then and was drawing with them. I was impressed with the pen I started experiment with them..oh that was back in 1969. Now sharpie only had 4 colors (red,blue,green and black) try creating with that limited colors. Thru the 70's I managed to marriage both sharpie and Bic since they have same quality of ink. The many colors was introduced till Y2K. I have never had one day of art classes in my life..from checking out a book how to draw human form when I was 12 and my only teachers were the artist from marvel and DC comics and Warren Publishing (eerie, creepy and Vamperilla) and Heavy Metal illustrated magazine.. those were my teachers and 1000's of drawings of hit and misses..then the fun part.. getting my office medium accepted in the art world.. that took some time but it's slow but getting there..I haven't seen anyone out there yet that can show they can blend colors on these pens like I do..the majority do pointillism (dotting).. for me to make them move I can create an illusion of such but to do it the old way of drawings the image exactly the same accept for the movement part. Since I can't use the cellular sheet it would be a challenge but no. Every drawing that I do is a complete picture that a viewer immediately knows what it is. The video ties it together. I give you the lil history of me to understand I have invested 50 years in these pens and I wild imagination. I might get a wild hair one day and see if I can do the old style movements with just these pens.. wink..thanks for the great review

You have impeccably worked this picture with minute details. So many characters. You have used up every inch of space with fun. Love this story, and your art.

Comment from Brendaartwork18


Great colours, very prominant in the right places, drawing the eye, i think where you intend, very clever!
I love the Smarties background (My favourite English Sweeties/bonbons). Love the angry bird in purple rage!.. and what about the injured soldier? Prominant for the media to take up his cause... I hope? Your very good story telling in pictures reigns again for another day.. next please...

Comment from adriansart


Fabulous from you again Mark! This really tell a story and that title sums it up!

Those expressions are all very different from each other and very much a angry atmosphere judging by those faces! and of course the one in bandages as if in a fight is a very powerful center piece !
