Anime Central day two is complete, and below is my progress on the Look Back chalk mural. I love how this is turning out, especially the details like the sketching on their manga page, the wood grain, and the back lighting on the hair. #lookback #anime #kiyotakaoshiyama #tatsukifujimoto

People said nice things about my mural and that made me very happy!  

I thought it might be nice to share the design but since it’s so villager and island specific it’s probably not very usual as a design, but here’s the gridded design for it in case anybody wants to take any parts of it to make their own designs!

Welcome, I hope you are having a wonderful Tuesday! Today's Chalk Art Time-Lapse Throw-Back is from my 3rd appearance at the Sweet Chalk Fest Lockport NY in 2016.

By this time, I realized I had made a trend of recreating DC Comics art and characters at the Sweet Chalk Fest, with my first year being a 3-D Batman/Batcave, and my 2nd year being Batman v. Superman. To change it up at least a little, I decided to go with the VILLAINS this time, and who better to draw than the Clown Prince of Crime himself and his main squeeze. The Joker and Harley Quinn are both iconic characters, and I loved this expressive, cartoonist take I found by artist original Mauricio Herrera.

So I went to work, sat in the sun for two day, and created this 9' x 12' chalk mural that was truly enjoyable from start to finish. Enjoy the time lapse, and PLEASE share if you can. Thank you!

Happy Friday everyone. Today's Chalk Art Time-Lapse Throw-Back takes us to the summer of 2016 and @otakon​ once more.

This was a bitter sweet event, as it was the last Otakon to be held at the Baltimore Convention Center before their move to Washington, DC. Even the event art I was recreating reflected this as it showed their mascot characters sailing away out of Baltimore Harbor.

This was my second recreation of a @comfortandadam artwork that year, the first being at Anime Central that I shared yesterday. As always, they created an amazing piece and I tried my best to do it justice.

Enjoy today's time lapse, please share if you can, and let me know what you think in the comments below.

Happy Thursday! Today's Chalk Art Time-Lapse Throw-Back once again takes us to Anime Central and the year 2016.

For this mural, I was asked to recreated the Program Cover artwork, a stunning original piece by @comfortandadam. If you haven't followed their work, they are prolific artists who I have seen working on the convention scene ever since I started my chalk appearance, and they have countless amazing prints, comics, and commission work, so do check them out.

The mural was 9 feet wide by 13 feet tall, and took 28 hours to complete from start to finish. I loved the coloring on the original, and did my best to duplicate all of the details as close as possible, right down to the rips and wrinkles in the art to make it appear vintage. Look closely and let me know what you see.

Thanks, and please share the art if you can, it helps get my work out to more people.

Happy Friday, I hope you have all been enjoying these Chalk Art Time-Lapse Throw-Back videos as I have certainly enjoyed sharing them.

Today once again takes us back to @otakon​ where in 2015 when I recreated their program cover artwork, a beautiful "Fairy Tale" themed piece by artist Keri Ruediger.

Her original "Little Red Riding Hood" art was stunning, it was such a painterly piece with vivid colors, and I had a wonderful time creating the chalk mural. So please share if you can, more eyes on my artwork is always a help, and I thank you very much!
