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 Corp, 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 DinnerTheater in Florida.

Hard to imagine

these are done

with crayons!!

4. My mind works like lightning, One  brilliant
    Flash  and it is  gone.
5. The only time the world beats a path  to
    Your door is if you’re in  the  bathroom.

6. I hate sex in the movies. Tried it  once.
    The seat folded up, the drink spilled  and
    That ice, well, it really chilled the  mood.
7. It used to be only death and  taxes
    Now, of course, there’s
     Shipping and handling, too.
 
   

8.. A husband is someone who, after  taking
     The trash out, gives the impression  that
     He just cleaned the whole  house.
9 My next house will have no kitchen -  just
    Vending machines and a  large trash  can.

10. A blonde said, ‘I was worried that my  

     Mechanic might try to rip me  off.
      I was relieved when he told me  all
      I needed was turn signal  fluid.’

11. Definition of a  teenager?
     God’s punishment…  For  enjoying sex.   
        
12.. As you slide down the banister of life,  may
     The splinters never point the wrong  way
