On The News Today!

I had an exciting morning! I got to be a story on the news today! KMBC Channel 9 news did a report on my chalk drawings that I do on my driveway (thanks to my daughter, Jenni, who sent in photos to them).

Reporter Keleigh Gibbs and cameraman Greg Steele came by on a very chilly day to interview me. I even did a demo and added another dinosaur skeleton to the scene.

For anyone who missed the segment tonight, click HERE to see the video on Keleigh's FaceBook page.

 
And if you are a new visitor to this blog, and would like to find out more about my life after losing my wife (as mentioned in the segment), here is a postcard that tells about my new book "Jewels in the Junkyard" (available on amazon.com).

CHALK ART: T-Rex!

Today was a lovely morning to work on another idea for my driveway...a T-Rex to scare the little Trick or Treaters in my neighborhood.

I started with a loose sketch done with white chalk, then used "chalk paint" to fill in the shapes. The pigment is darker when wet, but dried to almost white. I need to look for some other supplier for the paints, so I can get some richer colors.

Here are a couple of selfies with my new pet.

UPDATE...I realized that I had forgotten to post a couple of other driveway murals that I did back during the summer of this year. Here is my "Summer Sea Serpent".

And after that one, I did some "Bugs"!
