A very nice idea which is well executed in this fine entry to the contest. I like the composition and the stark look of the black and white. Best of luck in the voting.

very interesting piece. definitely makes my mind percolate. Your use of shadow is wonderful. I see a story unfolding as I admire the images or possibly an artist in the midst of his creative process.

    No darling not an artist. Those guys draw things to express themselves..I'm just Cartoonist/illustrator. Which means we're not expressing ourselves, we just tell stories. This is just an new avatar for my other sites as well as my numerous illustrated music videos on YouTube. To understand this better look me up on YouTube. I learned many don't like or think it's beneath them to view cartoons. That's how the 25 Oscar winning rabbit Bugs Bunny (more than any other cartoon ever) got screwed and taken off all networks but cartoon network and YouTube. Somehow I can see a syfy future where they will ban cartoons if it is not intended for children. What a strange world we have created in this 21st century. Not quite like the Jetsons. Wink. Thanks for the review.

Clearly I could never be a cartoonist as such images are never in my mind. Each stands out well. Not sure what the portrait is doing there. Is it you? Nicely done!

Wonderful entry for the contest MK - good luck. Deserves to the Recognized and an All Time Best. There are many different pieces here but they all come together as a whole. Great thought process in creating this piece of work. Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Lucien van Oosten


The image is a really good monochromatic collage, of you and what comes out of your head. Your imagination that is, the bugs the rodents the flowers, all are a part of you and your art.
The lay out looks a little compartmentalized, but hay that is I am sure the way some of the characters are stored there.
I like the artwork/image.
Nicely laid out and rendered, If it was in color I am sure sky rockets of color would be exploding everywhere, which would have blinded anyone reviewing the image, for life.

Thank you fro again allowing me to review your work.
Have great rest of your day,
Cheer.
Lucien

Comment from Denise B


I am drawn to the dark and light use in this composition. So many recognizable characters. Great thought into this I can tell. It seems as if the imagination of the artist is displayed for all to see in this one. I feel great depth in the overall piece. Like there is so much the artist wants to say but yet is quiet. Awaiting for the next opportunity to allow one of his playmates to come out and entertain us all. Well done my friend and stay safe.

I like the concept of where you were going with this. The black and white images illustrated in a cartoonist mind brings the viewer into your mindset. The title definitely goes with the piece. The composition and coloring are on point. Great entry into the contest

Comment from JirinaInspire


The description of this art is so relevant to the current times. Even the selection of the black and white method is accurately expressing the life and death. The images and the main subject is projecting a serious situation although it shows hope.

What an imagination and a superb way to record it. The main focus in centre is a super drawing of a head and face using a skill of drawi g shadows to give definition. The small medallions surrounding this are very well done and amusing. I am clapping you for once.

Excellent idea, Mark and a great entry for the contest. Love the expression on the cartoonist's face (yours?). Intriguing black shapes in the white circles. Great composition. Suzanne
