Boxer sorta hinted this would be a fun activity especially combined with adult beverages. I'll send Blowfish to visit relatives.<br /><br />Where do you get those Prang chalks? Color depth sounds very interesting to me. And YES, I have seen the 3-D chalk artists and not only are their images impressive the SPEED at which they create them also amazes. I think they must have those Prang chalks cause I just do not think they could achieve that depth in pastels only,<br /><br />Horrors ! for the Boy Scouts who eliminated history instead of graffiti. The stuff of nightmares. Or maybe a party for Trolls?fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-78109192552977916182009-08-19T20:36:17.007-04:002009-08-19T20:36:17.007-04:00oh to troll: did you hear about those boy scouts w...oh to troll: did you hear about those boy scouts who scrubbed clean some graffiti in a cave only to horrify some archeologists - the drawings were along the lines of the ones at lascaux. grrrrrrrherhahahaha!!chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-293361270829591412009-08-19T20:32:35.220-04:002009-08-19T20:32:35.220-04:00a conscientious graffiti. ive loved those sidewalk...a conscientious graffiti. ive loved those sidewalk drawings that are 3D have you seen those?<br /><br />the best sidewalk chalk EVER is Prang "Freart" it is very vibrant and rich. ive done many chalk illustrations in public spaces. i tend to do spot illustrations -not big involved images. i do like a bird with a branch of greenery or a bouquet or a longhrn bull - and on the smaller side.<br /><br />i find that suede gloves are ideal for blending and having a stiff paintbrush on hand is ideal for pushing the pigment into the sidewalk so its not so much laying on the surface.<br /><br />your dragon idea sounds cool. its not too late! shall we all come over and cover your tennis court?chickoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11814762747054617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-84455339530241112672009-08-19T17:22:02.385-04:002009-08-19T17:22:02.385-04:00Troll mischief is afoot!

She thinks if you do your sidewalk chalk on the property of another is IS graffit, albeit temporary. Her position is the owner of the property must involve their time and labor, or their wallet to remove the images. <br /><br />As for me, I'm a bore, no graffiti experiences in my personal history!fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-18399190129201498772009-08-19T10:40:23.485-04:002009-08-19T10:40:23.485-04:00Sidewalk chalk is fabulous.

He definitely calls our sidewalk chalk creations "tennis court graffiti". He has not gone so far as to call me a vandal, but that might be coming soon.<br /><br />Some of the current news headlines are really tempting me to indulge in some public graffiti. So if I were to create graffiti it would definitely include an ASS. <br /><br />On the other hand, if I looked up the statistic on public ( taxpayer) funds spent annually cleaning up after the graffiti gangs ... I could have a serious change of mind.fishyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169980377922293950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-35537804864282214222009-08-18T18:38:09.182-04:002009-08-18T18:38:09.182-04:00Kym, Boxer,

I think there is a lot of graffiti out there which can only be categorized as vile stuff and definitely, as Boxer mentioned, vandalism. On the other hand, I have seen some graffiti which I found to have merit as art and thought what a shame it is the spray can "artist" couldn't find a sheet of plywood or a refrigerator box, etc. All that talent headed to jail!<br /><br />Maybe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-319771121282179492009-08-18T17:46:53.040-04:002009-08-18T17:46:53.040-04:00I agree, I don't see chalk art as graffiti.

I have a large concrete patio in my backyard and I keep a bucket of chalk in my kitchen for when guests come over with (or without) small children. Over the years, we've spent many fun evenings, sitting as a group creating maps, little towns and more. I typically draw Saturn and the other planets, not sure why. <br /><br />It's nothing close to the VANDALISM created by some graffiti artists. I actually have no problem with true artists using old buildings/etc for their work. BUT we've had acid "painted" on our windows at my office and that's when I'd love to.... oh, you said it was a family blog. ;-) I'll stop there.Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11280822962202098606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-22162590812345922182009-08-18T16:10:46.750-04:002009-08-18T16:10:46.750-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Kymical Reactionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973202222132286348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5115084514040536840.post-36468451377229392542009-08-18T16:10:46.289-04:002009-08-18T16:10:46.289-04:00Fishy, I don't think that Sidewalk Chalk can b...Fishy, I don't think that Sidewalk Chalk can be classified as graffiti - for the reasons that you mentioned. It's easily removed with a light rain or a bucket of water. To me, graffiti is the intentional placement of "art" on something that isn't owned by the person doing it. The sides of box car trains, buildings, under bridges, etc...<br /><br />I agree that sidewalk chalk can be/is a work of art that is not as appreciated as it should be.Kymical Reactionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03973202222132286348noreply@blogger.com
