Description Okay, okay, so it's technically not graffiti, but heck, I wanted to use that category!

My square for the Sidewalk Arts Festival. Not too bad, considering I had to hang around for hours, waiting for the surplus squares to be doled out, and had about an hour and a half to do it, and didn't even really know what I was gonna do until I sat by my square with the box of chalk in hand.

...memo to me next year: a) have an actual idea. Maybe some photo references. b) sign up at least 2 weeks prior to get a square. c) Bring a chamois or something. I've rubbed the first two finger-tips on my right hand raw. ...I think I've got concrete or chalk dust embedded into my finger-tips...

This is really beautiful. I'm suprised you got that wide a range of tones out of chalk, but then I'm just an irredeamable photographer.

I heart sidewalk chalk/pastel work! And I love froggies! Very cute, this is beautiful. I remember a festival of sidewalk painting that I went to some years ago - one could buy a square and some pastels to work with. turned out pretty lame but they, that was back then. The professional squares were massive and incredable.

Wow, this was working from no reference? I just can't pull wildlife like that from my ass. (Er. Not literally. >.> I think this came together nicely, considering all your difficulties. I wish I coulda seen it in person.
