Mic Knight’s Art Hits The Sidewalk At Hyde Park’s Chalk Walk

This summer I was pleased to participate in Chalk Walk, an event put on in Hyde Park, Tampa, to bring art and the public together for a day of outdoor fun.

Spending a summer day drawing on the sidewalk was great fun. I felt like a kid again, and I think that child-like sense of play and freedom showed up in my work. The drawing was supposed to be 10 ft square. I got carried away painting the primer white, line to line in the concrete sidewalk. That was about 15 ft edge to edge, something I didn't realize until I was about a third into the drawing, when I noticed the size was too big.  Whew… I guess my inner child needed some parental supervision!

 

Here's another view of my section of the sidewalk:

 

Maybe my recent work with mandalas had a lot of influence on me. Honestly, I don't know if it was that or sunstroke  bringing out that psychedelic vision!

You think YOU have bad hair days? The heat and humidity gave me sort of a Twistee-Treat vibe, topside.
