So if you have not noticed already, I get really excited in sort of a "stick to the man" kind of way when I find professional artists who work in crayon. And Don Marco is a professional artist who works in crayon. (Yay!)

He has done wildlife pieces as well as other pieces. I like the texture the crayons give the drawings. They certainly have detail but there is also a smooth, almost fuzzy texture that the crayons give the drawings. The drawings of the animals seem to be ones native to the American wilderness.

In addition to wildlife pieces, Marco has also done a couple of pictures of Native Americans. I do not know if he is part Native American, or if he is just honoring them through his drawings. That would be interesting to know.

| Red Tailed Hawk |
Look at that drawing of a red-tailed hawk! I love hawks, and I love that he was able to create such a realistic drawing of subject matter like a hawk, or a landscape like "Scenic Dock," with such an "elementary" medium.

The texture of the crayon can also be used to give the pieces an impressionistic quality. So there is the option of obtaining clean edges, or more blurry edges, depending on the feeling you want the drawing to have, as seen in Marco's drawings.
