I like the idea of you bringing comedy to art.

Using the printer was genius!

[APinkofsky]

Hi I just wanted too Know If you can tell me why when I use praisma colored pencils it scratchs my paper instead of a smooth coloring?????

[REVOCABRON420]

NICE WORK HEPL OUT A LOT

[JROTCGIRL2008]

I love how you do your work. Specially with the use of the paint Shop pro and photoshop it is really cool and i never would have thought of that.. How did you think of doing that???

[reygood1]

An artist never stop until he's satisfied with his work. An artist tend not to follow rules... that's what you are, bro. thanks for sharing your creativeness.

[birdishtheword]

i useprisma

[beaver212]

Excuse me sir how do you smooth out your color pencil? I mean i have a color pencil smudger but it's very time consuming.. can i use anything else???

[WootyWooty13]

i really wish i was born with a talent like yours!

[latina084life]

in 12th grade i drew my first real picture with prisma pencil until the whole artwork was burnished but that was all i used. i didn't know about using all the mediums. when my art teacher saw my drawing she thought i've been drawing for years because i drew better than she did but i don't need to draw in pencil to use the color. anyway, i'm thinking about getting back into it to pass time. i just don't know how to use other mediums. how do you know which ones to use?

i love it!

your art is awesome!

[stephanielovesrock]

I luv your work. its great!

Also i never though about using Photoshop so that was a lot of help.

I am just a beginner But seeing your videos and the way you have fun with your work makes me want to learn and know more about art. :) So i will always keep that in mind that art shouldn't always be serious just have fun, its like expressing my self in art. Thxs Man! lots of help.

[thepandatheory]

I love how you said 'There's too much serious art in the world, i like to make my work funny.' I couldnt agree with you more!

I'd also like to say thankyou so much, i've watched a couple of your 'how-to' videos, and i've found them to be quite useful.. This mixed media project looks so interesting & fun, i wish i could try it!

[kazanjianm]

@thepandatheory Thank you so much for that awesome comment! I hope that you do try mixed media art. All art materials are is a means to an end. They all have different strengths and weaknesses and things get so much easier (and more fun) when you combine their strengths! Thanks again!

[kenthenoob]

and i agree with you. serious art is booooring. i'm an art major, too, and i like to have humor in my work.

[kazanjianm]

@kenthenoob I appreciate your comments! Ive gotten so sick of people debating "What is art?" and ruining a wonderful thing. Keep going! The world needs artists (not hipsters LOL)! Thanks again!

-Merrill

[kenthenoob]

then i was like "ohhhhhh. i like this a lot!"

[Poofpatrol]

"its almost like and onion, there's layers in an onion.... sry im not going shrek on you" love it.

great job. this had a ton of great info and was great for the reseach on mixed media research that im doing.

[geniusO2]

thats ugly

[CokeClassic2006]

"There's too much serious art in the world. Serious gets boring."

I completely agree! I love your lighthearted funny stuff.

[kazanjianm]

@CokeClassic2006 Im so tired of the "What is Art?" debate! It ruins a great thing! Thank you so much for your comment!

[cartoonblock]

another interesting one. 5 stars! why save as a png file?

[kazanjianm]

Hey Evan,

It creates a fun dialogue in the work itself. I have hundreds on PNG characters, some are friends of mine, some are celebrities, some are based on my memory of events.....I am a very slow worker, but I love crowd scenes (in art) this method helps me compensate a bit. I am starting to make png's of background objects which is adding a new dimension........Im saving to buy a large format printer so that I can turn all of these files in to paintings (I would print then finish w/ paint)
