Chalk and Walk 2015

Before my husband's trip was moved we had planned to go out to the Chalk and Walk Festival at Crown Center this weekend. However I had to work during most of it on Saturday and we were also finishing up some last minute errands before he left. I decided that even though he left super early Sunday morning I would still go check it out. It's the first time I've been although it is the eighth year for the festival. It was a beautiful day and I'm glad I took the opportunity to get out and enjoy it.

I don't know if they give the artist a theme or not but based on what I saw I would guess that they do. There were too many video/ board game themed drawings to be a coincidence. My favorite was this Dungeons and Dragons Rulebook Cover. You can see the book being used as a reference next to the guy in the top left corner.

 

There were several Legend of Zelda themed pieces.

There were a variety of other video games represented including Spyro, Portal, Mario Brothers, and Metroid. Also a variety of board games, including this large Candyland piece which had a special set up to make it look 3D from the right perspective.

I also had a fun time getting photos of the fountains and dancers performing throughout the festival.

I wish I had been able to go back later in the day and see the finished versions of everything but I just didn't have time. Among other things I had to do this weeks grocery shopping on my own. Its going to be a really strange week without Bear around. The cats already miss him and have been a bit demanding of snuggles all day long. You can see more pictures on my Facebook page.
