Hard to imagine these are done with crayons!
Don Marco: The Master Crayola Artist
Don Marco was born in Northern Minnesota in the late 1920's.His interest in art was evident even before starting school.? As a young adult in the Army Air Corp, he began his life's career in Air Traffic Control, which continued until his retirement from Honolulu International Airport in 1973. Much of his spare time was spent as a professional artist.
Before retirement, Don started developing a technique to create fine art, using Crayola Crayons. Shortly after retiring, he published his first print. Living in Southern California, his work was in demand, including commissions from Burt Reynolds and a one-man show at his Dinner Theater in Florida.
The following are links to actual scans of his work. It's been said that working with crayons is a little like working with oil pastels. Regardless, this is breathtaking work! (The largest filesize is 65.7 KB, just as a warning)
