Amazing Chalk Art Murals

When I'm not busy behind my computer designing some great piece for a client, I like to get out in the sun and bust out the trusty piece of colored chalk and put my designs down on the pavement. There's something awesome about taking a quick sketch and having it come to life in a 48 hour period over a 6x6 foot square. These chalk drawings were done by myself and another fellow artist Felipe Ramos. They took place up and down along Southern California, from Pasadena to San Diego. Keep tabs on this blog and I'll update you with the next one we're doing.

There's something fun about doing these 30 second caricature drawing of people I run into along the streets. I get a kick out of the end results. Some make for great animation characters. I wonder if the people I drew would recognize themselves? humm.
