I agree, Mark Ryden and Chris have a similar technique, but Chris uses much richer colors where Mr. Ryden goes the less saturated route. I enjoy Mr. Buzelli’s work, it’s very whimsical, but i am drawn to Mark’s work much more because it has a strong message behind hit.

I love how Chris depicts the children in his paintings. Their eyes are full of wonder just like real children.
