This was my first street art that I participated in. It was a comptetition where event staff can vote on a winner, and the public can vote on the winner and the votes are counted at the end of the event. This was done at the Tempe Festival of the arts. I wont the poster contest for the Festival and it was all about Arizona. So the theme for the chalk art was “Arizona”.
I always wanted to try the optical illusion, so I did a star broken out of the pavement and then had the grand canyon, route 66, and cactus. most things that people associate AZ with.
I wont first place at this competition
This was done at the tempe Festival of the arts in Tempe, AZ. I forget what the theme was for this event. I was interested in doing vintage racing car art at that time so I had this picture from pinterest that I liked and it was something I could paint in the time allotted to complete.

This was done at the Tempe Festival of the Arts. I don’t remember the theme for this one. I have always loved robot art and had some sketches. I like to paint things that the crowd will connect with ( gotta get those votes) so I knew that the kids would connect with the robot. It worked I got the majority of the public votes.

This was done at the Tempe Festival of the Arts. The theme for this event was “better together”. Bat man and superman connects with kids so I chose the two most common and popular characters.

The lady that runs the Prescott Chalk festival in Prescot, AZ saw me doing the Arizona themed chalk art in Tempe and invited me to participate in the Prescott event. I love whales so i did the grey whale first them the area looked empty and I had time left over so i added the baby whale and made the one fin out stretch and at the right camera angle the fin looked like it came right out to the viewer.
I won first place at that event.
