2021 Port Hueneme Chalk Festival

Have you ever heard of the Port Hueneme Beach Festival? This year they decided to add a chalk festival and it was AWESOME! After being in quarantine for so long and missing the beautiful ocean for so long, I was very happy to have been invited to participate.

I chose to chalk a mermaid since I was at the beach.

Almost there, just need to add a background texture to my coral and seaweed.

Daly City Chalk Festival

Last weekend I participated in the Daly City Chalk Festival, up in the bay area. It was a family event so I chalked Mario and Yoshi from the Super Mario Galaxy Nintendo game. How fun was that?

And so it begins! First I did a quick sketch and started with Mario.

Lumas are star-like creatures that have a tear drop-like shape and come in many colors.
