Artfest Ft Myers 2015

Each year this gets bigger and better! I was one of the professional chalk artists at ArtFest Ft Myer's for the third year! We instructed and judged 30 teams of high school student's while completing a sponsor piece (thank you Truy Nolen) and our own. The student work is just so amazing. This year my co-professional artists were Charfade, Nate Barronowski, BK Lyons, and Ron Hawkins.

My finished piece, following the theme of "Bugs on Vacation" features an Ant with a camera and a trail of bugs following him out of a suitcase. It was around 7x7.

As always, the next day I came back and was challenged to do another 3D bug like I did my spider last year.

Here are a few pictures from that weekend:

Artfest Ft Myers 2014

This past weekend I was one of the professional chalk artists at ArtFest Ft Myer's for the second year! We instruct and judge 14 teams of high school student's while completing a sponsor piece (thank you Truy Nolen) and our own. It is always super tough because the students do such amazing work and we can never agree on just who is the top. This year the other very talented professional artists were Charfade, Lee Jones, BK Lyons, and Ron Hawkins.

My finished piece, which I like to call "DIY", was inspired by Alice in Wonderland's Absinthe the caterpillar. Size was about 7x7 and took a little over 5 hours to complete.

Then on Sunday I came back and did a 1x2ft spider, about 30 minutes, just for some added fun!

Some extra photo's from this weekend:
