This amazes me probably because I wish I had a talent like people like this. We all have talents that God has given to us. Some draw, paint, work with wood, write poetry, photography, along with a million other talents but sometimes I wish I had a talent like this.
MR. CRAYOLA, the artist
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 Corps, 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 all done totally in crayons.
Burt Reynolds
Tom Selleck
Sioux Warrior
River Elk
Quigly
Navajo Meeting
Mountain Man
James Arness
High Country Morning
Geronimo
End of the Day
Apache
Bear Bull
Black Eagle
Catch of the Day
Chief Red Wing
Jesus Christ
Clint Eastwood
John Wayne

It is hard to imagine all of these fine pictures are done in Crayola crayons.
