Artists that draw on sidewalks or other surfaces with
chalk; either by children or credible street artists.
Chalk art by children are random drawings for fun, but Chalk art by actual artists can be extremely detailed and there are various styles, competitions and 'battles' with chalk sidewalk artists, making it a respected medium; prominently in
Tacoma Washington where battles (also known as chalk-offs) have become a weekly event in Frost Park for the last few years.
Example:
" Jeez, these Chalkies are getting annoying.
Damn kids better clean this up."
"Wow,
Spim is an amazing
Chalkie! He won the chalk-off again three weeks in a row. Look at the fucking detail in his work... amazing."
