 by Adam the Alien on 5/21/2010 @ 10:37am | I'm getting ready to show up, but I'll probably be on the sidelines again today. Still sick. |
 by Erik on 5/21/2010 @ 10:53am | The weather looks to have cleared up. The anticipation! |

 by daydreamer on 5/21/2010 @ 2:06pm | I love the planet. That's Jupiter, right? I have to vote for thorax. |
by NineInchNachos on 5/21/2010 @ 2:43pm | I vote for Joe Lonergan! |
by Adam the Alien on 5/21/2010 @ 2:44pm | Any photos of the final version of the panel Thorax started? By the end, it was an epic collaboration, including Thorax's Voyager/Jupiter, the timeline, Mark's ninja, my alien, and Pac-Man eating Thorax's timeline. |
by Adam the Alien on 5/21/2010 @ 2:46pm | by Adam's Friend (who started the Pac-Man trend), His name is Stuart. |
 by jamesstoweart on 5/21/2010 @ 2:59pm | I also vote for lil' Joe Lonergan! Best Spirit Capture portrait so far. Great work Ryan.
Actually everyone really did an amazing job this week. Loved the ninja invasion. Loved the Voyager. Loved the Pacmen. Despite the weather I had a great time. Thank you Frost Park. |
 by Altered Chords on 5/21/2010 @ 4:03pm | I was going to vote for Thorax - I love jupiter. I also thought RR's spirit capture of joe was hilarious.
But then I saw the picture that Aril drew. Kind of Dr. Zeusish. I vote for Ariel. |
 by Mark Monlux on 5/21/2010 @ 4:08pm | I want to thank Thorax O'Tool for surprising me by helping me draw Ninjas through the park. It just goes to show you, Ninjas are everywhere.
This week I vote for RR. I loved how he used old chalk art to enhance his own little gnome drawing. |
by Erik on 5/21/2010 @ 4:23pm | I vote Thorax! |
 by Crenshaw Sepulveda on 5/21/2010 @ 4:41pm | I vote for Anderson, nice use of a previous chalking. |
 by marumaruyopparai on 5/21/2010 @ 5:12pm | How cool is the art this week!? Really amazing stuff. |
 by Leischen on 5/21/2010 @ 5:19pm | Definitely Thorax. Great work this week. |
by Mark Monlux on 5/21/2010 @ 5:39pm | I would like to announce that I, the grand and glorious Mark Monlux, will be sponsoring next week Chalk Challenge. FIRST PRIZE will be a signed and personalized copy of my first book.  SECOND PRIZE will be the sloppy seconds Princess Leia Bobblehead.  It's true I coveted the Princess Leia Bobblehead and, after beating Adam the Alien in a game of Rock, Paper, Scissors to break our tie, I enjoyed taking her home. But it just hasn't worked out between us. Rather than enjoying her on the shelf, I've been keeping her in a bag behind the fireplace. In all honesty, she is just a wee bit creepy. So she will be up on the block next week as second place. |
 by morgan on 5/21/2010 @ 5:49pm | My vote goes to Monlux.There's something about those little Ninja's that I really like. |
by NineInchNachos on 5/21/2010 @ 7:19pm | I change my vote. I vote for Stowe. |
 by Mandiferous on 5/21/2010 @ 8:32pm | I vote for Monlux's ninjas! |
 by TacomanTime on 5/21/2010 @ 8:33pm | There's some cool drawings in there. But where's the guy on the ladder i clicked on to come here? All of the drawings in photos look close to the ground - though you can never tell with ninjas. |
by Adam the Alien on 5/21/2010 @ 8:34pm | Damn it! All that and you don't even WANT her? And you only tied on a shaky didn't-use-the-word-"vote" premise, Mark! That Leia should be mine! I feel an unholy rage coming on... ;-D
Hehehe. Anyway, I'm still figuring out who to vote for...it's a toss-up, to me, between Stowe, Thorax and Mark. I'll get back to you on that. |
by marumaruyopparai on 5/21/2010 @ 8:35pm | RR Twitter feed says "vote Stowe". Why not, ironic art is fun. I vote for ironic artist Stowe. |
 by UnstableArt on 5/21/2010 @ 9:36pm | I have to VOTE for Monlux's Ninjas. They're simple, yet expressive (and numerous). I also like that one is rolling up on a surprised Alien in a UFO of his own. :D |
by Mark Monlux on 5/21/2010 @ 10:25pm | Adam, If you want the Princess you are going to have to work to get her next week. Might I suggest you draw a large heart tattoo, that seems to be very popular.
I want to that Stowe this week. His Easter Eggs chalk drawing were the inspiration to the numerous Ninjas. Next week I might even try the imposing task of drawing a MechaGorilla. But, wait! Next week - in honor of the First Place Prize - the theme is going to be MOVIES! Please bring the most tired and overworked cinematic cliches you can thing of, then we can all vote for Stowe. |
by Thorax O'Tool on 5/21/2010 @ 10:56pm | unsurprisingly, I vote for myself. |
by Adam the Alien on 5/22/2010 @ 10:25am | Damn it, this being sick sucks - sleeping keeps interfering with voting. :( |
by Mark Monlux on 5/22/2010 @ 10:33am | Here is the vote tally... I think RR should referee this one as the instructions for voting were not posted.
Thorax O'Tool 4 (if you count "definitely Thorax" as a 'vote'.) RR Anderson 3 Monlux 3 Stowe 2 Ariel 1 Please feel free to correct as I might have overlooked a comment. |
by Thorax O'Tool on 5/22/2010 @ 9:44pm | I like this outcome |
by NineInchNachos on 5/22/2010 @ 10:28pm | Nice work Thorax! |
by jamesstoweart on 5/23/2010 @ 9:10am | Great job Larry! |
by Crenshaw Sepulveda on 5/23/2010 @ 10:15am | Larry? Larry!!? |
by NineInchNachos on 5/23/2010 @ 10:26am | Hey, no name-calling. I thought we agreed !? |
by Thorax O'Tool on 5/23/2010 @ 10:27am | Yup.
I like to keep a few degrees of separation between between my presence on the net and real life. @Stowe & RR: thanks! |
by Thorax O'Tool on 5/24/2010 @ 10:12pm | Hey... how do I go about claiming this prize? Will the Gnome contact me, or is my quest to find the Gnome? |
