Hi Mark I am back just for a couple of weeks and it is wonderful to visit your amazing magical gallery again. Well what can I say about your artworks here, they really are breathtaking and I know that Helle is going to be mesmerised by the vibrancy and creative skills you show here. Yes Mark I am well and truly taken in by your art. hugs Jane xxx p.s. I don't know what masks are either LOL :o)x

Just shutting things down here for awhile but this popped up or in the case of the rolls...popped over(?) before I closed up shop. This adds a whole new dimension to your color musings and I for one REALLY LIKE IT! I'll come back and look at these in considerably more detail but you are onto something nifty. Keep these coming:)))

Beautiful & Spectacular

Amazing result. Splendid work!!

I have been a big fan of Helle and her work for so long as I have of yours Mark, and I love this dedi you did for her. Like you she is one of the most talented and creative artists in the community and this beautiful collage is so perfect for her. Love what you did with the city street in breathing new and colorful life into it and the rolls absolutely blew me away at how exciting you made them now.

Oh Mark, I love all of these; vibrant and colorful, and a millions spaces to explore...fantastic work!

Pass the butter and let me move into that first building!1 OMG, these are awesome, as over used as that word is, I don't know what else to say!! I love how you take one simple (?) idea, then morph it into these psychedelic, surrealistic, incredible wonders. And masks, oh boy, yet another world for me to discover and explore!! These rock and so do you, Mark!!!

Totally cool just like you my friend.. how have you been??

I have no idea what masks are (yet) and don't have much time till the summer ends to find out. BUT I love this work, and the final image is astounding!!!

Mark Mark Mark. You certainly know how to use masks. Maybe not the way the programs want you to use them, but I doubt they can be used more beautiful than this. You certainly know how to use them in your own way and it is breathtakingly beautiful. I am so delighted and Proud, when I see what you did with MY mask. I love every example you did here. Makes my mask way more interesting. Thank you for using it and my buns too. A landscape. You created a landscape of them. LOL ! That is SO cool. But your words make me blush. You are way too kind. I dont deserve this and I dont know what to say, but to thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you ever so much. Big HUG !

i thought i was the only one who did not know anythings about masks, but i am apparently not (lucky me) - whatever they are i don't really care - you used it to create astonishing images and that's what counts for me.

Lovely work altough i miss a bit the masking lol...It ain't difficult once you get the principle ..black hides and white reveals so just add a mask and paint..You will discover a lot of new possibilities also another way of masking is blend if..then you can mask colors and tones..Every adjustment layer has a mask option so you can play with tones,shadows,highlights..Also with your talent it will give wonderfull results. Your work is like always unique and i love it.I work with photoshop more then 10 years so if you have any question just ask ;)Keep up the good work my dear friend x

Very nice images. Great colours and textures! Excellent artwork!

Even though I'm unfamiliar with the helanker masking device or tool, a super stellar everything arty in this display of these ultra rich and vividly colored concepts, Mark! What hath thou wrought? They put Warhol to shame!

Wow! These masks bring a whole new dimension to your work. I love what you've done here. These bring out the city dweller in your work--with all the energy, magic, and possibilities I feel whenever I arrive at a large city at night. The colors are so vibrant and I like how the third and fourth images join together with a circle, and the windows then turn into an art gallery (that's what I see--lots of art hanging on the inside of the walls). I also see a jazz dancer or musician in the bottom center, taking his hat off--welcoming us into his world. The rolls are a perfect ending for the journey, (such tasty berry colors) and what a great way to use the photos in your art. I love your inventiveness. In this landscape, it seems we've returned to the simplicity of earth, where we break bread, the memory of our visit to the city blowing in the air like salt sprinkled in the wind. (Sorry, I always see things . . . I have a lot of fun exploring your worlds). In any case, it's a beautiful heart-felt dedication both in design and in words. Another gorgeous work!

Masks! Oh gosh ... some totally new thing for me to learn about ... I love the progression of this piece, and the dinner rolls (purple dinner rolls!) at the end are such a treat! Playful and creative ... :)

It is stunning now if only city streets looked like that.The pitcures would make a nice animation.

I want to say i´m astonished and i´ve to congratulate both:You and Helle:It´s a marvelous mix work!better say: a colab!It is as i see this! I see a "promenade" in the city enjoying the night: a feel of warmth:)) and in the 3rd and 4th i can see your feast! Music,lights and joy and I think i see a couple also enjoying!And it ends into dreams, with so much colour and so much enlighted...that´s what i see in the last image. You had played wonderfully with the colours and lights and we can see you had a great pleasure doing this and you have put your heart and soul here. This is marvelous Mark:)))and very creative! Art is invention and that was what you did here! And this is a wonderful gift for Helle,that i respect so much as a person and as a wonderful artist and the most important:a friend!

This is such a cool progression of images and such fun to look at. Awesome work!!!

This is a city the way a super hero would see it. Right?? Like Spiderman, perhaps...he descends into the heart of the metropolis while his spidey-sense (many eyes, you know) enhances the lights. (see Ronnie's latest...) This makes the whole area glow with fabulous colors. The last two is what He sees when the police enter and start to flash those huge search lights around. Really - this is what I see. Dinner rolls? Seems like a good lower level for a city. Very yummy and provides a soft landing. :-)

I love the results you got from this. I totally agree with your comments too.. She is a wonderful person and artist. I could easily see the top panel in an art museum.. I really love that part!

Masks! Wow! Mark, you've opened a whole new can of worms for me to play with!! I've downloaded a couple just to see how to use them, and what better to example to emulate then these right in front of my eyes! I just adore the last ones, the dinner roll landscapes! Stunning, wonderous, and totally magical! To use a much overused word .. AWESOME!!
