Chalk Art as
Event Marketing
For the past 18 years I have been creating giant chalk murals as live performance art for conventions and festivals, and have drawn close to 100 pieces. Each chalk mural can take an average of 25-30 hours to complete, and are usually around 9 feet wide by 12-13 feet tall.
I have been fortunate to make these for major clients across the United States, and at some of the biggest pop culture conventions in the industry. Click below to see my complete chalk art gallery.

CHALK MURAL
EVENT MARKETING
I am mostly known for my giant chalk murals which I create as live performance art for conventions and art festivals. I have been making these for nearly 18 years now. Each chalk mural can take an average of 25-30 hours to complete, and are usually around 9 feet wide by 12-13 feet tall.
I have made murals at some of the biggest pop culture conventions in the industry. Click below to see my chalk art gallery.
Cartoon / Illustration
For many years, my goal was to become a syndicated newspaper cartoonist, and try to live up to the greats of my childhood such as The Far Side, Bloom County, and Calvin and Hobbes.
Obviously, times change, everything moved to the internet, and I have moved with them. I have created webcomics, and done illustrations for online content. The chalk art may be my calling card, but cartooning / illustration is a very close second.

CARTOONING & ILLUSTRATION
From a young age I have loved cartoons and comic books. For many years, my goal was to become a syndicated newspaper cartoonist , and live up to the greats like Calvin and Hobbes, The Far Side, and Bloom County.
Obviously, times change and everything moved to the internet. What you hold in you hand shows that I have moved with them. Chalk art may be my calling card, but cartooning comes up a very close second.
Time Lapse Videos
My giant chalk murals are most impressive in person, but even at shows with 100,000+ attendees, it is still a limited audience, and I wanted to share them with more people.
I now record time lapse videos of my mural creations. I condense 30 hours of work down to 5 minutes of video. These videos are an added value for my chalk art clients, and provide them with excellent social media content that can be shared everywhere. The videos are all housed on my YouTube channel, but can be embedded anywhere, as you can see in the gallery below.
Time Lapse Videos
After making giant chalk art for a while, I wanted to make my murals available for more people to see. Conventions, while great, were a limited audience. I invested in camera equipment, taught myself video editing, and started making time lapse videos, condensing 30 hours of work down to about 5 minutes. The videos are great for social media, can be branded with sponsor identity and information, and are a great tool to increase the marketing value of my appearances. They are fun to watch too.

Testimonials - What my clients have to say:
“I had the chance to work with Eric last summer when Crayola hosted an outdoor Chalk-A-Palooza event at the HQ’s of one of our customers. Eric was accommodating, friendly and easy to work with! He managed his art installation around break/lunch times to allow for associates to visually see the transformation unfold. On top of all that, Eric delivered a masterpiece of interactive (3D) Art that became the focal point (and talking point) of the day!”
