One of my many talents (toot-toot) includes chalk painting. I found out about this festival when I was 16 while attending the Art Institute of Laguna Beach in the summer of 1999. I saw a flier for the Fun with Chalk Italian Street Painting Festival in Mission Viejo, California. I did it for 5 years straight (starting in 2000) and am thinking about setting aside time to do it next year, when my husband actually gets vacation pay. This is a picture of one of the last one’s I did.

Well, it would’ve looked a lot better if I had time to finish the left side of the car and the surfboards. Keep in mind that this image is actually 10 feet wide by 12 feet tall. That’s freakin’ huge when all your using to color is something the size of a child’s crayon!

I’m looking forward to doing this again and bringing life to asphalt for a few days
