Chalk La Strada 2004
On a perfect sunny fun Sunday, Marie and I checked out Chalk La Strada - the amazing Italian Street Painting Festival that takes place every year in Little Italy.
Simply Amazing!
I love the idea of artists creating their works right before your eyes. These incredible paintings are like songs performed live once. One shot - that's it. And you, as the audience, take away only that momentary impression of the brilliant work born right before your eyes. Unless, of course, you were lucky enough to be carrying a camera with you, so you that can take a photo, similar to the way you would make a bootleg recording of a live musical performance.
I took hundreds of pictures, but haven't had the chance to go through them all just yet. I'll post some of them later. In the meantime, here are some of the photos Marie took. Enjoy!

Hey Krassy, how funny is it to find myself on your website. I was searching the chalk la strada sites to check out the other work and I came across yours. I'm the dreadlocked brother busting the Ganesh. I wasn't able to get around that weekend to check out the other art, so I was hoping to see some of the other excellant pieces on the web. It was my first year at the Chalk La Strada and was surprised to see my work anywhere. Glad you had a good time and was able to enjoy a passion that all the artists share.
