My son has a box of sidewalk chalk. I have decided that I love sidewalk chalk. Lots of fun for the little ones...and very little mess that you need to worry about cleaning up....other then hands and clothes. :-) The rest can be handled with a garden hose or a good rain.
I was cruising the web one day looking for images for my blogs...and I came across a ton of sidewalk art. And, I decided I would post a few of the best images on here for everyone to see. If you have not seen this stuff before, it is AMAZING!!!
I always loved this sidewalk art. I just can't fathom the ability to do it - they truely do play tricks on the mind! Pretty cool, thanks for digging them up!
Leesa -- Some of the ones that I had seen are HUGE!!! 40ft in length to achieve the look...very weird stuff. And amazing to me!
I have had the pleasure of going to a few street art fairs. They were both in a college town, so look for one near you. They are more impressive in person!!!
Clint, Sidewalk Art is amazing! I would love to see some in person someday. I wonder about how the pictures were taken. Was it necessary to be up high or far away or right on top of it? Very interesting. Thanks for posting.
I did a post about an event here in my town this summer http://localism.com/blog/wi/eau_claire/posts/654489/Eau-Claire-Real-Estate
The one you were at looks quite crazy. I cant believe its possible.
Lewis -- I have not had the pleasure in person. Im sure that is impressive to the nth degree!! I have the UofM here in town with me...maybe I should contact the art dept and see if that isnt something we could organize...
Sharon -- Yes, it is! And I have not seen any of it in person either. Some of the ones I have seen require standing in the right place so that you can get the image in view because of the visual tricks created.
Shane -- These are just lifted off the web. I wish I would have been there to see these in person!! The one YOU were at must have been incredible.
that is really amazing. I wish I could draw like that.
Mary -- Yes it is! And, ME TOO!!! These guys have more talent in thier pinky than I have in my entire body...lol
Very cool, that is some kin of real talent to get such detail and realism.
Hi Clint, These are just so unbelievable ! For those of us who have no talent in the arts it boggles my mind.
Randall -- Much agreed, my man. I have a hard time getting stick figures to look right...lol
Bill -- Hi! Yes, they are! And I am the Captain of that boat, my friend. :-)
Hi Clint. This guy is an amazing artist! Thanks for sharing
Isn't it amazing what you can do in different art media? These are fabulous, thanks for sharing.
I have always enjoyed seeing this type of sidewalk art. It is amazing how well they do this with forced perspective.
Gene -- Hi! Yes, whomever it was is incredible!!!
June -- Truly amazing! People that can do this kind of thing are from a diffent gene pool than me...LOL
Jason -- Thanks for stopping by! I love this kind of stuff also. Im amazed every time I see it.
Clint - I must be behind on the times because I have never seen sidewalk art. I think it is amzing how the can make it look 3-dimensional. Very interesting and thanks for the view/ read!
Robert -- Yes, it is amazing stuff. Some of the ones you can find online are just jaw-dropping.
Wow they are neat. I have never saw anything like it.
Carol -- I havent seen anything like this in person, but online...Ive seen tons. These were just the best on the site I was on...
Incredible talent, here -- thanks for sharing these photos. Amazing!
Li -- Agreed! Very impressive.
Clint ~ Sidewalk art is so amazing. It seems like so much work goes into something so temporary. I have only seen it in pictures though and would like to see it in real life some day. I wonder if I would get that vertigo feeling from the dimension they put in. Thanks for sharing!
Kathy -- No kidding! I often wondered about the same thing with the vertigo issue. Id have to be there to make sure. I will have to test that theory one day. :-)
This is the first time I have seen this type of art. It is amazing what can be created with chalk.
Rebecca -- That is what I thought when I saw it for the first time. Now, I hunt new ones down online...lol
Those are crazy!! Thanks for the post.
Skye -- I know! You are welcome!
Clint-I love the sidewalk sculptures. I am always amazed at them. Thank you for sharing. I also love the sand castles.
Laura -- I was gonna hunt down some sand sculptures for a new blog also. We just had a sand-scaping contest at a local park here...
Fantastic photos! I just love this guys work.
Yeah, that guy has more talent in his pinkie than I have in my entire body...lol
You and me, both! I can't even conceive of such drawings. I've seen him profiled on TV. It's weird to see him set up and start drawing.
