This past Sunday, I attended the Chalk Festival at the Cleveland Museum of Art.  It’s been years since I picked up a piece of chalk.  But, what a lot of fun!  There’s something quite inviting to getting down on your hands and knees and drawing on smooth piece of sidewalk!

Working with chalk is quite different from the pen and ink, pencils, and pens I use every day to create my cartoons and comic features.   But, I gave it a go and had an enormous amount of fun along the way!

The above video features my contribution to the festival as well as the chalk artwork some of the other outstanding artists who made the day a really memorable event.

My nephew Tom drew the sea serpent.  My niece Brynn did the “CLE” tribute to Cleveland, and niece Kelly (along with her friend Rob), came up with a rather colorful and humorous unicorn drawing.:)

If you live in Northeast Ohio, make it a point to visit this festival or even rol up your sleeves and
