I was hired by TBS to create "very funny" sidewalk chalk art as a promotion for the comedy festival TBS is hosting in Chicago this weekend. This is my maquette based on some laughing friends (with whom I watched the Cubs lose to the Twins last weekend). It's nice to focus on happy faces after years of painting the "
rage series." I'll create the real thing, up to 20 feet wide, on Thursday, outside the Tribune Tower at 435 N. Michigan Avenue (near that crazy Grant Wood sculpture). Come visit--I'll be there, on my hands and knees rubbing the pavement, all day. As usual, rain is in the forecast. Check for photos of the real thing later this week.
