Their is strong feeling in these, so well done. The choice of colour is great I'd 2 improve my own colour choice displayed in my own work I'd love some advice. Thank u
St John Street---- Hey, thanks. Mostly Im just messing around exploring. I find the Plien air scene realy interesting. It has a very rich and vibrant history. Hell! Sargent painted plein air. i am mostly looking at Edgar Payne and Glen Dean. Fantastic artist who have a great sense of color as well as composition. very graphic and bold styles.
Artisan---- Thanks for dropping me a line. Ill check out your site.

Cool Mark, I really like the mountain and I see a little of the Glen Dean influence there. Great shapes!
Jeremy---- Thanks! Its a little weird calling it plaien air when I don't get any mosquito bites or sun burn or dehydration, or aches and pains- I just sit looking at a photo and paint. alas no time to actually go out and do it with OIL and all.

Mark- your site is great and I really like the work you do. Can't wait to go to Wondercon this year and get my hands on a Colossus book.
This summer I started a blog kind of by accident, because I wanted to comment on your blog, but I couldn't unless I was a "blogger." So I just started one up and I've loved it ever since! I guess I have you to thank for it!:)
amelia---- Thanks for the props. Its all Ronnie Del Carmens fault that I am blogging. He suggested I set up a web site for Colossus and the blog was the perfect thing to do. So its all his fault. ( tip the hat to Ronnie) I checked out your blog. cool stuff, good drawings keep it up. The quest to be a board artist is a long hard journey frought with challenges and many dangers. But well worth it.
remember the story motto " fabulae Par Inferus" ( story is hell.

Hi.
My name is Rohit Iyer and I'm a student of Animation at the National Institute of Design, India.
Recently, I bought the Incredibles DVD, and that's where I first got to see your work on the story development for the film.
I was amazed. I looked up other work that was available on the internet. I really fell in love with your collages and sketches.
I'm really glad that you have a blog. That way, I can keep looking up your work and continue to be inspired.
All the best to you.
Rohit ---- Animation student from India!!!! Awesome. I used to teach, actually i still do. lectures and stuff like that. What do you do in Animation school in India? Anyway, Thanks for the complements and keep checking back. I'll keep putting up stuff.

Come on Mandy! Your loaded with talent, you know how to fight ... why are you afraid of painting with a brush and canvas? Throw away you crutches and squirt some oil between your legs. Walk like a Colossus!
I kid. You rock.
william wray----all right you win I guess I'll try sappin some oils on to the canvas and see what happens. Hopefully santa will bring me some oils and canvas and a nice little bow stand thingy all you Plien air guys paint with. Love your work- you inspire and Intimidate.
ILOVEGORDON- You goof don't you know anyhing it comes from the greek Plee-ayn ( spelled phoneticlly) which means- to make bitchen little painting-
is that enough schooling for you.

Very nice work Mark! I especially like the first one you did with Artrage and the fourth one using Photoshop! Most pleasing to me.
Also looking forward to picking up Colossus when it hits up here in the great white north! I've heard so much about it.....
I love the new pieces i was wondering when you were going to post again
Smook---- Thanks man- the art rage progrsm (is free) and really gives you that sense of pushing paint around- not that it can ever actually replace real paint- but its cool nontheless. Im glad word of Colossus has reached the great white north. Ive sold a lot to your fellow countrymen. in fact I think they are some of my biggest patrons.
st. John Street----- Im glad you keep checking in. I often wonder when Im going to post again. so little time these days and its hard to stay disciplined on posting regularly. But keep checking in I appreciate it.

M,
these are awesome man. sheesh, at least you have a plan B doing fancy pants gallery work if your animation career ends.
anyhow, sweet stuff, and as bob ross would say, "happy painting!"
>oVi
i love your painting, the colours are just amazing'
Just dropped in to say Seasons Greeting and Happy New Year to you and yours, I hope to see more of your work soon. I'd appreciate any advice you have concerning my own work I love to get some feed back from you please and thank you.
All the best to yu again.
Nice paintings!
OV!---- Totlly my plan if animation ever poops out I got a way into the fine arts biz!!!! Nawww Im just exploring the one thing I struggle with.... Color. This is a fun way to do it.
Patrick O'Keefe---Thank you for the props. Doing this on the computer I can really go bold and big with the color tends to be more saturated. If I was using actual oils I may be a biit more timid and go more desaturated. who knoes. I gotta try it and get all dirty.
St John Street --- and a Merry Christmas to you. I will definately check out your blog and leave comments. More work on the way
Alina Chau----Thank you very much.

Hey Mark,
It was really cool meeting you at King Kong. Sounds like 2006 will be be a very busy year.
All the best,
James
J----- it was cool meeting you as well, to bad King Kong was not so cool. Catch ya' next time in thebig apple.
Edog----Thank you for the feed back. Ill keep posting. And you keep working with art rage! in the immnortal words of commander Taggart " Never give up1 Never surrender!"

I was curious what you guys were thinking about King Kong. There seemed to be little to no reaction from you or Jan after it.
Good seeing you, hope to meet up again in the future.
J
J---- about King Kong. I was dissapointed. Giving the totally satisfying trilogy Peter Jackson had just finished I was expecting to be nothing less than totally satisfied with Kong. I was wrong.
Jackson got a touch a Lucus-idus. That is to say he fell in love with the fx and forgot about serving the story.
Now the relationship between Kong and Ann was rock on!!!! I was crying during the central park Ice skating scene but the rest was a shock.
None of the characters had any beleivable motivations- and though Jackson set them up to be cool he dropped the ball when it came to develop them or even intagrate them into the story.
Come on all the characters are bamboozled by promises of cash????? Is that what really drives them??? Why doesnt the writer WANT to do a film and get away from theatre ( Then being inspired by Ann to get back into theatre)
Where was the discovery of love on the ship? One scene??? come on!!!!
What about the captain/ animal hunter- why couldn't he be the one who had the map motivated to go to this strange island and capture strange creatures and get more than he bargined for??????
Come on!!!!!
I can go on. But I wont. a lot of the film was predictable and was motivated, it seemed, by action set pieces and not by story- in that our characters and us the audience are discovering this strange and wonderful island.
The movie should have been half as long and more to the point with clearer motivations and action scenes that are rooted to the characters.
All and all I give this movie a 'C' Jackson can do better and should have.
Mandrews out
Yeah. I agree. I felt that there was alot of superfluous stuff in it, and scenes that I felt really hurt the pacing and were there for no other reason than to be "cool". I thought Kong himself was brillaintly done.
J---- yeah Kong was bitchen kick butt- a- ttude.
Mandrews out
Nice well rounded works. Thanks for all of it.
Interesting article. Where else could anyone get that kind of information in such a perfect way of presentation.
