This Monkey On My Back

My Dundas piece. I chose some mighty bumpy pavement. It was a gamble between being seen or being smooth. I chose being seen. What I lacked in detail I made up for in size and sheer audacity!

I think this one is semi-autobiographical. Only "semi" because I'm not reeeally a shark.

I really adore your artwork.

[Rachel Peters]

aw, thanks.

It looked even better in person!!!!

I drew the Cheese on Sunday and wasn't sure why. Thom Sellectomy pointed out its appropriateness, as Sunday is the day people often praise Cheeses.

NB

New Brunswick piece:

I'll repeat it in Toronto and do it better.
I hope to email the director of "Project Grizzly" and woo him to come out to see it in Toronto. I'm a suck-up like that.

You'll notice a repetitive theme. My formula. Battles, cuddly toothed beasts, robots, fish, ...no monkeys this time.

Thats a great one Rachel!

Introducing Hephaestian Studios

Hello. My names Mark Gage, my partner Wayne McMillan, two pavement artists working in Melbourne. We call ourselves Hephaestian Studios (h-studios) One last remanent of a business we had running in 2006. I guess the name still applies as 'Hephaestian' means hard work and dedication and the pavement, I suppose, is now our studio…

It's taken awhile for me to discover this website, even though I've been watching the Chalk Circle and others on the net for sometime.
Despite a run in with the council and constant bad weather, we have been doing pretty good in Melbourne and now functioning full time and professionally. (No welfare or day jobs.)

Anyway - on with the pictures, I suppose flickr has the best preview of our work.

And also our blog, which has the pictures plus comments by us and a tutorial on making pastels and getting supplies.

I plan to have a functioning website up soon, I'll keep this forum updated.

I attached our latest picture, "The Return of Spring" it was done in collaboration with a fellow pavement artist. Sadly we couldn't complete it in two days and there is also a minor error... I wonder if you can find it.

Hello Mark and welcome to the screevers guild (Melbourne branch).

Nice work..
