I participated in a local chalk art festival for the third year in a row to help raise awareness for FosterAdopt Connect with a mission “to provide foster and adoptive children a stable, loving and nurturing family environment by support and advocacy for abused and neglected children and the families caring for them.” I chose to do a portrait drawing of John Lennon for this sidewalk art challenge with our nonprofit partner because Lennon was adopted by his Aunt and Uncle as his parents weren’t able to care for him.

I set up my camera and filmed my chalk drawing process, and then sped it up 12,000% to create this time-lapse. It took just over 7 hours for this realistic drawing in the heat, but it was so fun I almost didn’t notice! I place 1st in the adult street art category! Woohoo!
