Sidewalk Chalk Bombing

[Five3]

So I made my first attempt at a chalk piece this past weekend. Ran out of colors for the stomach but overall I'm happy with it. Why "bomb" with chalk? Because it's temporary, cost more than spray paint, and is overall inefficient, haha. Regardless, I enjoyed it.

Anyone out there know of any "chalk bombers?"

From a distance.

[Kaitlyn-R]

I think it's cute =D Good job.

[AwesomeSaurus]

Sweet! I really like how you made it look pixely, very creative! I haven't heard of anyone really using chalk the way you have, but this might spur some sort of crazy chalk movement, perhaps! It would be really cool to see some more work like this, even though its temporary you can still take some good pictures of it that won't wash away!

[Five3]

Thanks. I've got a more detailed pic on deviantart HERE!

[PandaBanana]

Cool. I like it... Why dont you make more?

[Senti]

You can't go wrong with Totoro. Nice up, make more!

Thats sick!! I would love a giant totoro somewhere in my town :D

Is chalk bombing still illegal, yknow cos its temporary. I might try this somewhere

[Shitsurei]

awesome, that looks like fun. I'll have to try it sometime.

Just curious though, why did you draw it pixelated?

[BlackmarketKraig]

That looks great, nice work.

I was actually reported to the police for "spray painting" after the cops showed up they clearly recognized I was not using paint. They said it was cool as long as it's not profane or offensive.

I think the cop even liked it, he was staring at it for quite sometime and was real cool about the whole thing.

So until I'm told otherwise, I'm gonna be doing a lot more "chalking."

The chalk isn't too pricey but it aint cheap either.

I dig your work mraw, I'd love to see ya put up a piece some where.

I did it pixelated just to add a little style to it. As oppose to just duplicating the original picture, I wanted to put a little of my own touch on it. I'd encourage you to try it, I'd like to see some pics.

Me and my boy are planning to do a Toe Jam & Earl piece in about two weeks, I'll have pics of that when the time comes.

[Raguel]

This looks completely Photoshopped.

I'm not saying it is because I have no knowledge of this chalk that you're using but if it's genuine then well fucking done, it looks sweet.

[AlacritySoundz]

HAHAHAHA. Thats some ghetto ass materials to go use chalk Lmfao.
But yo there aint nuthin wrong with that tho...Just go rack shit. Paint is hard to come by these days dependin where ya are. But hell Chalk Bombing seems pretty legal to me Haha.

KEEP chalk BOMBING!

Haha, it's funny you say that. My boy was there in the flesh and said the same exact thing.

mtncolors.com & bombingscience.com is where to get them cans in the US. As far as paint sales else where, I have no clue.

You wanna check out the chalk go here Eternity Arts. The stuff is like pastels, it's sweet.

I know about bombin science N montanas. Its just hard to find cans to rack in STORES. and the chalks on the site you posted look like sqaure blocks of candy....tempting...Lol.

I recently did a lil throw-up at a creek with some shitty can.

[LindseyMathews]

looks cool bet you had a bunch of chalk on you after drawing it though

[mranarchy]

Its probably just because I'm stupid but the first thing I thought that was, was a cat sucking on a big cock...Then I read 'ran out of colours for the stomach'

Thats amazing work tho!

take very long?

[Ronald-McDonald-LoL]

Really a nice drawing! I like the idea of "chalk bombing," you won't even get in trouble!

[ManiacalZManiac]

Nice Job On That! Like The Pixelation.

Hah, it looked like I was working in a coal mine on a 12 hour shift.

It took about 2 hours, not including interuptions from spectators & police.

And thanks everybody for taking a look, glad you enjoy it.

[P-51]

totoro? that's awesome stuff.

[Captain-Ben]

Thats pretty damn cool, i love doing sidewalk art and stuff, but it never looks very clean because it's hard to get completely filled colors like you did, but when i looked up the chalk you said you used. that's some nice stuff, and pretty pricey

think if i ever have money to blow i'll pick up a 72 bundle, wouldn't mind doing some characters around town

Yeah, I bought a box of 65 colors for $3.50 of Crayola sidewalk chalk, haha. Needless to say those colors suck so I found good stuff at eternityarts, the only place I actually found chalk. And I paid about the same price for 3 pieces as oppose to 65 hah, but well worth it.

However I did waste more chalk than I needed to. The concept of blending didn't cross my mind until I was doing Totoro's stomach (the last part I filled) and ran out of color, so I started smearing it around with my hand. It covered pretty well.

If anyone makes an attempt at some sidewalk chalk art, I'd love to see it, any art for that matter ^-^

Why wasn't I appart of this!? Other than the fact that I can't draw and I had work. Looks awesome man, gotta check it out in person soon.

[MindChamber]

impressive, nice work how you freehand all this,

I cant draw without access to control Z :(

[Captain-Ben]

you did that whole thing with just 3 pieces of chalk? they must last a long time, think i'll pick some up

Your wack son, I can't believe you live 10 minutes away but I never see you. Next time come out with me and bring your cam so you can make a silly time lapse.

I actually used some Ctrl Z. I did the original concept in flash using a pixel mod that rtil used in one of his pieces. Then I took to the streets, not as clean as flash but still worth wild.

Haha, I wish. Sorry for the confusion; what I ment was I paid the same price for 3 pieces of chalk from eternityarts as I did for 65 pieces of chalk from Crayola. The actually piece posted here took 6 & 3/4 pieces = $7.00

You still got it you boner. It's gotta be at your place, if not give me money.
