The Sidewalk Chalk Artist

[andrew99]

Found on Yonge Street in Toronto:

It struck me how long he works on an image, which will only last for a day or so (it rained the following day). We photographers have the luxury of keeping our work forever! (we all back up our computers, right! )

Nice shot, and looks like the guy has some talent!

Love the colours! Nicely done! (Was this up by Dundas?)

Thanks guys! Yes, it was right outside the Eaton Centre at Dundas & Yonge.

Yes it does look like he has some talent but needs some training. Possibly a lesson in anatomy:scratch:.... that right shoulder looks dislocated or something

But that is a great picture of a good artist drawing a mediocre drawing.

Looks like he got the image from a book. So if it's not his original work, can you blame him?

The shoulder looks fine, it's the bicep that worries me. Plus, it may very-well be dislocated... hmph! Kidding aside, I can't imagine chalk on sidewalk being a very forgiving medium. Maybe it was too late to fix?

Cool shot though.

It's hard to tell, but I think that's his sketch book, meaning he's just replicating his own work. Of course I can only assume.
