 by KevinFreitas on 5/28/2010 @ 9:52am | Rainy day out there for late May. Who will it keep away and who will the hearty ones be to chalk or watch? Let the record show, I'll be among the latter. |
 by NineInchNachos on 5/28/2010 @ 9:59am | still rainy :( |
by KevinFreitas on 5/28/2010 @ 10:06am | |
 by Erik on 5/28/2010 @ 10:14am | For those who are brave enough to chalk today: vertical surfaces are pretty much immune to rain. |
 by Mark Monlux on 5/28/2010 @ 11:35am | Aw! It's not that bad! |
 by Dave_L on 5/28/2010 @ 12:17pm | I vote for Mark. Just kidding. (So far.) |
by KevinFreitas on 5/28/2010 @ 1:16pm | Here are photos from today! by RR Anderson  by Thorax O'Tool  by Mark Monlux  by Andrea Always more over at KFnet |
 by Mandiferous on 5/28/2010 @ 1:51pm | I admire all of you! I am a total weather sissy.
That being said (from the comfort of my office), I vote for Thorax. |
 by Altered Chords on 5/28/2010 @ 1:52pm | I was in Olympia on an appointment. I swear it's not because I'm afraid of rain.
I vote for Thorax. You are all studly chalk artists and have my immense respect and admiration for doing this event today! |

 by The Jinxmedic on 5/28/2010 @ 2:02pm | I vote for Andrea's Cheshire Grin. It's very creepy, and gives an illusion of depth- therefore, it's a winner in my book. |
 by daydreamer on 5/28/2010 @ 2:15pm | I vote for Thorax |
by Erik on 5/28/2010 @ 2:15pm | Congrats to everyoe for their valor. "I vote for Andrea's Cheshire Grin." Yep. I vote for the Andrea aka Lupin Goddess teeth. |
by Mark Monlux on 5/28/2010 @ 2:33pm | Kudos to everyone who came out into the rain to participate. I prefer drawing on the ground, but only the walls were workable this week. And they were pretty soaked too. I loaded my photos, showing both art and the folks who turned up, onto my flckr account. You can see them by clicking on this link: bit.ly/9fn0FU Should I win second place this week, I will turn the second place trophy of the Princess Leia bobblehead over to Adam the Alien. This because it was only be the narrowest of technicalities that I honestly won it away from him, and he has been coveting the slave girl ever since. Should "My Cat Sydney" be the crowd favorite I will donate a copy of "The Comic Critic Presents Seldom Seen Films" to the next charity give-away that John Munn of Comic Book Ink does on Thursday evenings before the midnight showing at the Lakewood 16 Movie Theater. That said, my vote is for Thorax and his homemade chalk. |
by The Jinxmedic on 5/28/2010 @ 2:50pm | I voted for Thorax the last two times and it didn't do any good. Home made chalk? That's uber-cool. (or "uber-kuhl", I suppose.) Still, that grin is trult frightening and therefore, it is deserving of my vote. |
 by Jesse on 5/28/2010 @ 3:06pm | Thorax had home made chalk? That's moxie. I vote for him. |
 by Leischen on 5/28/2010 @ 3:37pm | I vote Andrea. |
 by jenyum on 5/28/2010 @ 3:45pm | I vote for Andrea, love the 3D effect. |
 by Courtney on 5/28/2010 @ 3:49pm | I vote for Thorax. Very cool. Also, I meant to vote for him last week with the space thing and forgot too.
Mark's made me laugh because I've owned cats like that. |
 by Thorax O'Tool on 5/28/2010 @ 3:54pm | Yup, home-made chalk. I made white (turned out best), green, blue, red, yellow, orange and purple. I can (in theory) make any color you like. It's simple, but take a while to dry (about 2 weeks). It's essentially water, plaster of paris and powder tempera paint. You have to mix the plaster to water at a volume ratio of 1:0.9 to get good results. Otherwise, you make a brick. See Kevin's pic:  I can share the recipe and have a whole topic about it, if anyone is interested. Also, for a low price (to cover the materials), I'll be happy to sell some sticks in any color you like. |
 by Erik Hanberg on 5/28/2010 @ 3:58pm | I vote for Andrea's grin. |
by NineInchNachos on 5/28/2010 @ 4:04pm | How much for a stick of white Thorax? Should start selling it on the feed store. |
by NineInchNachos on 5/28/2010 @ 4:05pm | I vote for Andrea.
but throax is kicking ass with his entry. reminds me of Carl Sagan. |
by NineInchNachos on 5/28/2010 @ 4:06pm | (the strange pitting and voids in the concrete added to the creepiness in her chalk teeth. ) |
by Thorax O'Tool on 5/28/2010 @ 4:10pm | Today was a wierd chalk off. I saw all kinds of crazy stuff... other than a bunch of people drawing with chalk in the rain. Ready? Here we go for some of the "other" sights this week. Click on any pic to see it bigger. WDO's portrait of RR Anderson  RIP I-91 by unknown  People standing around and getting wet. And taking pictures. There was a 1.2:1 ratio of cameras to chalkers this week  What do the rules say?  Paparazzi! And wait... is that a yacht I see sailing down Pac Ave? Guess it's rained more this month than I thought...  Jeff the muppet man!  Two special guests: Paul the muppet and the Luzon Brick. And a final one, just for Mark:  My own orange terrors. Onslow (L) and Cous Cous (R). Now, all that being said, I vote for myself because not only is it what I do, but also because I like dandelions. Also, @ Mark: should I win, could I substitute Leia for the book? I already have an autographed copy. @ RR: considering the cost of the plaster (no paint in the white, obviously), 75 cents should cover my expenses for a stick of white. Putting it in the feed store is a great idea! I'll talk to Kevin about it... Call it Frost Park Chalk? |
by KevinFreitas on 5/28/2010 @ 8:11pm | Well done chalk masters! As for the weather, we've seen worse. But their brand of chalk art is always on par. Mark's kitty Sydney makes me laugh only because it's the only time I've seen the effects of something getting under Mark's skin. :D RR's spirit capture is as solid as ever and was a huge fan of the neon green outline to help things pop! Thorax's dandelions nearly snagged my vote for their simplicity but still depth but I vote Andrea this week for her impromptu demonic Cheshire grin piece.
Great work and it was wonderful to see so many people brave the elements to take it all in. Cheers! |
 by UnstableArt on 5/28/2010 @ 10:19pm | I'm going to do something I almost never do and VOTE for my entry. I actually like how the teeth turned out. They look quite shiny. |
 by beerandhotdogs on 5/28/2010 @ 10:53pm | I vote Andrea |
 by debivans on 5/28/2010 @ 10:54pm | Wow, the diehard chalkies were out today. Or is it chalkers? Chalk stalkers. Frosties? Is there an official term?
I see the wall's where it's at when it's wet. Was in the middle of moving today anyways. Blah. Wet moving. My VOTE goes to Andrea's teeth. Nice work. |
 by Adam the Alien on 5/28/2010 @ 11:11pm | This alien VOTES for Thorax's lovely dandelions. |
by KevinFreitas on 5/29/2010 @ 10:55am | The tally is in and this week's winner is Andrea! Congrats and here's the count:
Andrea - 11 Thorax - 8 Well done all and see everyone next week! |
by Mark Monlux on 5/29/2010 @ 11:13am | Andrea - Let me know the title of one of your favorites movies and I will draw a related sketch in the book. My plan is to drop it off the prizes at next week's event. |
by UnstableArt on 5/29/2010 @ 2:58pm | As Adam could probably tell you, one of my favorites is Fight Club. :) |
by Erik on 5/29/2010 @ 10:03pm | Congrats Andrea! A great piece to win with. |
