Thank you Winter Garden Art Association for photographing it for me!

The heat is murder, but I had a great time at Winter Garden Spring Fever and I hope to be back next year!

Paseo Pastel in St Augustine

Unfortunately this weekend was bit of a wash, literally. We got rained out before we could even begin.

But I am no quitter! After driving all the way to an event it is such a shame to just leave without having done anything, especially since I got a hotel and everything. So I went to my car and tested out chalk on various surfaces until I found something that held it ok, and wha-la!

So, while not street art, is is the only peice of chalk work from this weekend. Thank you FCAA for giving me an award, I will consider it an award of merit for my determination.

And thank you to all of the organizers/volunteers at Paseo Pastel. Your event was lovely and well organized, but sometimes weather happens and we have to make the best of it. See more pictures HERE.
Looking forward to next year!

Portrait art

I chalked a quick demonstration piece is History Cocoa Village today! So hello to everyone visiting my site today who saw me downtown. Feel free to look around and send me an email if you have any questions, be it commission related or how you can get into street painting!

Uptown Art Expo 2013

My rendition of "A Ray of Sunlight (The Cellist)" by John White Alexander. It was 5x7 and took about 5 hours at the Uptown Art Expo in Altamonte Springs, FL (Feb 16th).

Ft Myers Chalk Fest

The weekend was a great success, I am very impressed with the skills of all of the High School students in Lee County! It was so hard to judge because everyone did such a great job!

For those students who talked to me over the weekend, please check out FCAA and ISPS for info about other festivals, they are a lot of fun and we would love to see you out there creating more art!

To start off the Chalk Block, 5 professionals (myself included, although I was asked if I was a student several times, ha) put down the Truly Nolan logo. They were great to work with and I love learning new things whenever I interact with other artists; Lee Jones, Dorthy Sabean, Michelle Hawkins, and Ron Hawkins.

And here is my scorpion piece from Saturday, about 6 hours 7x5 ft.

ArtFest Ft Myers, Feb. 1-3 2013

I am looking forward to participating in this years ArtFest Chalk Block! Each year they choose a few professionals to instruct students from local Lee County high schools, who then compete in an art competition. SO I feel honored to kick off the new season by working with my peers and inspiring the next generation!
