![]() by FireFlyNexes on 8/6/2010 @ 1:58pm | I vote Brian (and Son's) wonderful use of prospective and team work.
|
![]() by roxainaboxa on 8/6/2010 @ 2:17pm | I vote for Gini's--really pretty! |
![]() by Leischen on 8/6/2010 @ 3:23pm | I vote for RR's shark. But I want to give a special good job to Brian and his sons and Gini and her fish. Good work today. |
![]() by boearc on 8/6/2010 @ 3:32pm | I vote for RR's Realistic Retro Airplane. |
![]() by Mark Monlux on 8/6/2010 @ 3:35pm | As much as I love RR's plane nose, I've got to vote for Debivan's cartoon of parking meters. The colors looked particularly good in person. And, from the rumors I've been hearing, they are thinking of using meters like in Seattle (credit card and elecontronic) rather than those in Olympia (takes dimes, and small amounts too.) |
![]() by NineInchNachos on 8/6/2010 @ 4:00pm | ![]() A vote for RR is a vote for AmeRRica! |
![]() by RustyBubble on 8/6/2010 @ 4:18pm | I vote for RR. Sharks are cool.

![]() by Crenshaw Sepulveda on 8/6/2010 @ 4:22pm | I vote RR for AmeRRica! |

![]() by Joel 413 on 8/6/2010 @ 4:31pm | @RR Is that Pappy Boyington? UW Alumni and Mdal of Honor winner? |
![]() by NineInchNachos on 8/6/2010 @ 4:45pm | One would assume!!! I made a student film about him in college: video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-436416... |
![]() by Dave_L on 8/6/2010 @ 5:01pm | Hard for me to decide on a favorite, and though I really like Brian's, I VOTE for RR's awesome P-40 (sans air intake), for sentimental reasons and for yet another creative use of the surfaces. (Ooh, since I can't participate any longer anyway, that corner kind of looks like a mini Seattle "sinking ship" parking garage en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seattle_Hotel) |
![]() by crockawaddy on 8/6/2010 @ 5:49pm | Everyone was very creative today. Good quality work from all ages and experience levels. Lots of color, 3-d, and pepsective work. Does the reality of Adamthealien getting eaten by another alien mean that his subject matter is about to evolve?
But, RR's jet fight shark caught my eye and gets my vote. |
![]() by TacomaBikeRanch on 8/6/2010 @ 5:52pm | I vote for RR, though I tip my hat to Melanie (nice dome!) and my kids who got their hands thoroughly chalked, too. More on my Courage Classic adventures at tacomabikeranch.blogspot.com. |
![]() by L.S.Erhardt on 8/6/2010 @ 6:43pm | Too bad I had to work.
Oh well, though. Gotta pay for chalk somehow. All are worthy entries, however I feel that Brian's is the most fun. He gets my vote |
![]() by Erik on 8/6/2010 @ 7:38pm | The work toward a Julian Beever art piece by Brian is impressive. However, I vote for RR Anderson. A local UW hero remembered: ![]() There aren't many UW alumni who win the Medal of Honor, write a best-selling book and have Robert Conrad portray them in a TV series. In fact, there is only one: World War II Fighter Pilot Gregory "Pappy" Boyington, a 1934 engineering graduate who shot down 28 enemy planes as a Marine pilot. Strangely enough, when he attended the UW, Boyington had a different name. Students in the early Thirties knew him a Greg Hallenbeck, a "short, solidly built aeronautical engineering major who was a member of the wrestling team," according to one report. At that time he was using the name of his step-father and did not revert to his father's last name until after graduation. www.washington.edu/alumni/columns/dec98/... |
![]() by ALT on 8/6/2010 @ 8:01pm | I vote for America!
That is, I VOTE for RxR! It caught my eye right away. Super dynamic and a great use of that weird, wedge shaped slab of concrete. :) |
![]() by KevinFreitas on 8/6/2010 @ 9:48pm | I'm a huge fan of Mark's chubby kitty excuses (my guy has been called a few similar such names) and think Debivans is onto something that I hope blossoms into his own CLAW comic someday! Joel rocked the perspective but I was excited to see Mark lend a hand and do some mentoring -- should totally have some of the chalk veterans pair up with greener chalkers in some future episode. Could make for some great artistic cross-pollination! A hearty well done to Gini, Brian and RR as well. In the end, however, I totally loved the scale and idea of Brian's so my vote goes to Brian this week.
Just over 2 hours left -- tell your friends! |
![]() by acapere on 8/6/2010 @ 10:01pm | I voted Poppy! |
![]() by debivans on 8/6/2010 @ 10:06pm | Keep 'Em Flying! Love RR's shark plane. The way he fit it right in there is too cool. I like how it's lurching from behind the bush. I can imagine a few Hell's Kitchen heshers stumbling from the Hell's gate and meeting this piece face-to-face. Startled at first, then a few "F-yeahs!" with some sincere devil's horns thrown in. They approve and so do I cause shark plane gets my VOTE. |
![]() by wildcelticrose on 8/6/2010 @ 10:06pm | VOTE. I'm going to have to go with Mark Monlux and his FAT cat Because yes... I'm a crazy cat lady ;) |
![]() by Joel 413 on 8/6/2010 @ 10:09pm | Last week I teamed up with RR to exercise our first amendment rights and speak out against Clear Channel's settlement with the city. This week Mark helped me make the Rubik's Cube "pop". But now I'm away for a few weeks... so who knows what will transpire upon my return.
So... who to vote for. the hot woman in my bed likes Mark's cat and debivans' meters. I VOTE for meters, because the hot woman tells me to. |
![]() by Mandiferous on 8/6/2010 @ 10:16pm | I vote for RR! |

![]() by NineInchNachos on 8/7/2010 @ 8:36am | I walked the park waiting for a suitable 'canvas' to 'speak to me' I saw the wedge point and thought.... you need a shark mouth like the old flying-tiger planes.
I had no idea Tacoma had such a strong connection to a real life flying tiger... THANK YOU for your shared knowledge! My next step will be to pump the library. I'd like to track down this fellow's book. What a fun chalk off experience! I'd like to give you all an awkward man hug!!! |
