This past weekend I did this 12x16 chalk art piece at a local festival

I did this piece based off of an image The Butcher Billy did for the Los Angeles times shortly after Stan Lee passed away. So before any of the comments about “where is Jack Kirby?”, I did not make the original piece; and yes I know how much Jack contributed to the success of marvel and his infamous artwork.

This won a people’s choice award at the festival for fan favorite. I spent 38 hours on it over 4 days. I took down my original post on Sunday because someone here on Reddit complained that this was an unfair advantage for getting votes; which I was not intending to do. So I took it down until the voting was over on Monday evening.

Oh wow, I knew this area looked familiar! My sister lives 2 minutes away from here. I’m actually visiting her this Sunday (coming from Los Angeles) and I would’ve love to see OP’s chalk drawing in person! Bummer, pretty sure it’s already gone or will be completely gone by this weekend :(

So sick

Lonely-Wasabi-3052025-10-23 02:20

Do you calculate the scale and grid your reference? What’s your process like ? Because this is astonishing

jarveyjump2025-10-23 02:32

So it’s kind of complicated how I did this, but I got one of those giant rolls of paper off of Amazon, 4ftx120ft. I then cut it into 4x12 sections; 4 of them. I gridded out each section into six inch squares, and I used a reference image to draw this entire thing out. It took two months to do that. I then ran a pouncing wheel over the entire drawing, which perforated the outline. I took those rolls of paper out to the event last Thursday and when I laid it on the ground and taped it down, I patted it down with a pounce pad filled with white chalk. When you lift the paper the image is then transferred. So 2 months of work went into this event lol

Lonely-Wasabi-3052025-10-23 03:00

it looks amazing. The amount of preparation shows in the work. Well done
