Chalk It Up! to Sacramento 2011

Hi All,

The last week or so has been pretty action packed. I spent labor day weekend at Chalk It Up! to Sacramento. Spent the the first day volunteering at my work's booth where we were doing "Street Stories" with community members to post on our website at www.AccessLocal.tv and spent the rest of the weekend chalking. My work was my sponsor and I did my own creation and incorporated my work into it. The artwork was a diamond that showed the many facets of what we do and the character I draw "Madeline" was a fortune teller and she was "Looking toward the future with...Access Sacramento".


I also had the pleasure of working next to one of my very best friends, Denise "Satana" Benitez-Gonzalez. She is an artist transplanted from New York and making a name for herself here in Sacramento. She was sponsored by her work "Evangeline's Costume Mansion". She got to do her own artwork which also happens top be their current collectible magnet for the store. They'll be more on her later in my blog when I'll do a featured interview with her.
 Please support the local artists in your community. Chalk it Up! donates money to help keep art and art programs in schools. www.ChalkItUp.org  . There are several across the United States. Look for your local one and you can be a sponsor and donate to have an artist do a square in your name or be an artist and donate your time to a sponsor and show the community the great things that art can do!
