Frost Park Chalk Off #8: GLASS WARS!!!

It was that time again... Time for spontaneous urban chalk competition. All the usual competitors were there, chalk was applied, frivolity was... was... whatever you do with a bunch of frivolity. I had a wonderful time as usual. Didn't get to talk to many people unfortunately because if the space I chose. That was a bummer. But I did get to make art I was very happy with. I worked on a wall this week. The results are below.

Thanks to the Tacoma Urbanist for the photo.
Thanks to Kevin Freitas for the photo.

Even my son Barrett got to work on his own square. He was consumed with creative energy.

Again...thanks to Kevin Freitas for the great photo.

As usual I encourage everyone to log into Feedtacoma.com and vote for your favorite piece of chalk art. The winner gets to have a trophy of their design made in blown glass. They also get a vintage fedora previously owned by a grizzled local reporter. I am ultra excited about the glass trophy. It is made by students of the wonderful Hilltop Artists in Residence program. My friend Kathy donated it. The very idea of it is super cool and I really hope I get it. The fedora is weird and if I am lucky enough to get it I'll probably just end up giving it to the Frost Park Chalk-Off organizer and celebrated urban holistic underground cartoonist RR Anderson. My guess is he would dig it alot more than I would. I am just after the glass. My proposed trophy is shown below.

NOW GO VOTE!

Go Shopping for Stowe

On the advice of individuals smarter than Stowe I've created a virtual shop over on FEEDTACOMA.COM.

There I will sell prints of work you see posted here, work from roleplaying game books, orginal paintings, posters, tee-shirts, commissions and other stuff I probably just had lying around that I figured I'd sell to my fellow Tacomans (That is TA-Comb-ANS, not TACO-Mens).

In the next coming days and weeks I hope to grow the content over there quite a bit. You can go directly to my shop by clicking HERE or typing in: Http://shops.feedtacoma.com/stowe/.

Hilltop Glass Chalk Trophy

This week the Frost Park Chalk Off prize is a custom piece of glass art.

Let me say that again cause you mind may not have been BLOWN by the nuclear furnace heat contained in the unassuming and meager words making up that sentence.

THIS WEEK THE FROST PARK CHALK OFF PRIZE IS A CUSTOM PIECE OF GLASS ART!

My mind...

...is blown...

...like glass
(impromptu poem/pun)

Anyway... if I were to win this week I would want something like this:

Knowing how my mind works...
I expect there to be others following shortly and throughout the week.

UPDATE!
Inspired to design a new one...

Heather, Queen of Cupcakes

It what has turned into a weekly assignment here at work, I am drawing funny pictures of coworkers for the Lucks Company website. This is Heather, Head of our Marketing Department. I once drew her as a unholy undead creature in a rather stale meeting once, and she has never let me live it down. Hopefully this will help her forget about that. Art and hokey nursery rhyme all by me.

Better Know Your Zombie (part four of six)

...this zombie occurs when aliens parasites takeover human bodies. The parasitic takeover often occurs through the method of slug like beings entering an orifice of a live or dead human body. The resulting zombie is a slow moving creature, rotting from the inside out, with a collective or hive like mentality. While there is little high level mental function, they can be cunning when it comes to perpetuation and distribution of the parasite collective. These zombies are meat eaters, however they don't limit themselves to human flesh.

HOW TO KILL IT: Killing the "queen" parasite, if attainable, will result in the deaths of the entire collective. Without this option, the individual parasite must be induced to leave the host body (usually this has to be accomplished through gratuitous, high movie rating violence resulting in the wanton destruction of the host body). The parasite must then be "squashed" before it has an opportunity to infest another host.

MEATIES!
