Chic and Bubbly

Sun on my shoulders, warm, black pavement under my purple-painted toenails, and an old ice cream bucket of multicolor chalk at my side...sounds like a summertime favorite summer activity--sidewalk chart art! This impermanent artistic expression has been part of my life since I can remember continues to be so, but now with nieces, nephews, and (okay okay) me and my husband too! Learn how to pass on this warm-weather ritual, read How to Play Creatively with Sidewalk Chalk Art! Step on a crack, get a creative whack! And know that art is in the eye of the beholder...just as Julian Beever, a pavement drawer  for over 20 years. He knows what it takes to be bubbly!
