Pasadena Chalk Art Festival - let's take a walk and look at some of the art!

 Well I told you all that I'd be at the Pasadena Chalk Art Festival today! I saw a lot of familiar faces and for those of you that were not able to make it, here's a look at some of the work!

With it being a Graduation weekend & Father's Day, there wasn't a lot of time to spend at the festival but it was nevertheless amazing to see all of the varying pieces of art. In it's 15th Year, imagine hundreds of artists from all around Southern California. And to think that they did it using only pieces of chalk!

 

 

 

Let's start with a Father's Day dedication and a dedication to our soldiers! 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

How about a look at our 16th President, Abraham Lincoln!

Have you ever dressed up as Abraham Lincoln for Halloween? Come on, I know some of you have!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Or how about this drawing...The King himself; Elvis Presley! 

How many of your are fans?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ok...now I know that you all will recognize this one! Johnny Depp in Pirates of the Carribean 2. This is one of my favorite scenes. He's just so funny! He played the role to perfection!

I don't know how everyone else feels about it but his work from "Edward Scissor Hands" to "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" to "Pirates of the Carribean I - III"...well, he's an amazing actor!

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

Now don't tell me you don't recognize this couple. It's Brangelina (Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt)!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

These three were cute! There was a little girl dancing next to this one and she kept telling her mom, "mommy, mommy, look...I'm a ballerina!"

We agreed that the festival was filled with a lot of great art and it was a great way to get the family out of the house for some fresh air and some great art. And to think, it was open to the public for free!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Thanks for stopping by! Maybe I'll see you at next years Chalk Art Festival!

Hi Ricardo,

That is some amazing talent.  What a shame it isn't permanent. I'm such an art lover, I'm going to have to make it a point to go next year.  Thanks for all the beautiful photos.

Francisco: isn't it great!?! I'm simply impressed with the detail and in some of the work. And to think, it was all done using chalk!

Melody: looking at art work is always a pleasant time! If you come by next year, I'll be there and we can visit together.

These are amazing!  Hard to believe these are done in chalk and I'm assuming free hand?

WOW!!  Those are so impressive!!  I can't even pick a favorite, although Blue Boy's toes sticking off the "canvas" was brilliant! 

(Right there with you about Johnny Depp, too!)

Those are some pretty cool pics!  I saw some a while back of a guy that did the same thing, but he did some that were 3-D.  It was pretty cool.  There are some really talented people out there!

Ricardo, these are really amazing!  It was sad as I was driving down Colorado Boulevard next to Paseo to see these works of art being hosed off.  I can't even imagine what the artists feel.
