Chalk is a Lost Medium


In a Capital One credit card commercial Alex Baldwin (tossed off plane for a kerfuffle about Words with Friends) stands by a likeness of himself in chalk and proclaims that , "chalk is a lost medium". Well... that is not exactly the truth. In fact, their is a lot going on in the Chalk world. I can across the site Visual Fun House which is filled with your favorite optical illusions. It's a neat site. One of the blurbs on the site is about 3D chalk drawings.



If you never seen one then you are in for a treat. They use 3d perspective to give the illusion of... well all sorts of things. Search the web "3d chalk drawings" and you'll be amazed by some of the work. There are even time lapse videos of a project from start to finish. Check some wild 3d chalk art here on YouTube
