I also want to thank you for making it possible others can learn from you. I hope you will continue to publish your technique and your work."

  • December 2007 Karen Marhall in Kentucky says: I watched Jeffrey's Techniques DVD and DVD #1 of the Shiny Red Apple. I'm quite impressed. No wonder his crayon drawings are so beautiful as it is evident from watching the two DVDs thus far that he spends a great deal of time insuring that his drawings are well covered. I plan to watch the 2nd DVD of the Shiny Red Apple tonight after I get off work! I'm a senior citizen still having to work for a living to make ends meet but I'm still a kid at heart and remember the smell of those crayons! :)Thank you so very much for sharing your artistic expertise with the rest of us wannabe artists. I'm 63 and still hope to create something of value to leave to my children. Maybe it will be done with crayons thanks to you and your generosity.

COLORING LAHAINA



My first original of Maui was inspired by a visit to Kamehameha Beach in Lahaina, next to the harbor, which is one of my favorite places to surf. The lefts there can be pretty fast and fun for a regular footer like me. On this particular day I took several photos of the beach and water, then combined them with my imagination and crayons to create a piece of art that portrays what paradise "feels like"... the air in Lahaina is always invigorating and the atmosphere is alive with happy people everywhere. I can usually count on the sun shining and the weather being just perfect!  I titled the piece LAHAINA and framed it in my signature floating crayon frame design with the title printed on the crayon wrapper serving as a nameplate for the artwork.  The original is available at Images Fine Art Gallery in Lahaina.

CRAYONS INSPIRE ME

Ah, the crayon! As simple as they appear, there’s a lot to them. First of all, just opening a new box of 48 or 64 still stimulate my eyes, nose and touch just as if I were a kid but mostly it affects my imagination! And to think, I don’t have to worry about wasting expensive paints or canvas so I’m free to experiment all that I want.
So, what do I do with all of this color? That’s my motivation…its like traveling to somewhere I would like to visit! Yes, and I know just how to get there with them. Maybe getting there wasn’t as simple as all that in the beginning but I have always been excited to think of the possibilities of what could be done with a box of crayons and paper. And then the hook, I can’t believe I did that with just crayons!

School Testimony For Jeffrey Robert Crayon Art Techniques "My students...use his techniques and are light years ahead of other students...

February 2011
Jay
 Mealer, MA, K-5 Art Instructor
Pinnacle Charter School, Federal Heights, CO

I am an art teacher and have always felt an affinity to crayons. I argue with my peers that art can be taught with nothing more than a box of crayons (yes sculpture and painting). Jeffrey Robert has gone a long way to affirm my position.

My students are already beginning to use his techniques and are light years ahead of students of the same age groups from surrounding schools
Thanks so much for the inspiration you have given me to inturn instill in others.

Comments and Endorsements for Jeffrey Robert Crayon Art Techniques Dvd and Books

The Crayon Art Masterpieces created within a 35 year span of my crayon art journey, are the key to my Crayon Art Techniques. Here are a few comments that I have received through the years.
Jeffrey Robert Crayon Fine Art Portrait
  • Endorsement July 10, 2000, Carol Marshall, President Quality Education Systems

    In the creative arts, Jeffrey's work stands alone; he has developed an entirely new genre for the artist's creative process. Anyone who sees his work will be amazed at both his gifts as an artist and his capacity to do museum-quality art with a simple box of crayons. Quality Education Systems whole-heartedly endorses Jeffrey Robert, The Crayon Artist, for his unique artistic vision

  • Crayola Interview with Decor Magazine, February 2004

    "Jeffrey Robert... creates Rembrandt-like pieces using absolutely nothing but Crayola Crayons, a company spokesman says. According to Crayola: "Jeffrey Robert inspires adults and children everywhere to recognize and utilize the simplest of mediums, one that we've all used at one time or another and most likely have lying around the house, as a tool to explore and develop their creative and artistic side." 

  • Endorsement July 2000, Judith Bingham
    National Speaker and Advocate for Children with Autism
    on the subject of teaching children through art-based literacy

    "Jeffrey is a most outstanding and unique artist in that he is one of two people in the world (referring to Jeffrey and his father, Don Marco) who has introduced us to crayon art. It is his technique with crayons that has not been duplicated. I've watched the teachers delve into the crayons and the black line drawings mesmerized by their own skill after Jeffrey's lesson. I've seen the children's self esteem sore after Jeffrey walks around and comments on their work. Thank you, Jeffrey for starting America Coloring!
