What to do with a bored artist suffering from an jured foot? Buy a box of pastel chalk, drive her into town after dark, pop a cork and watch the majic. These 12ft protraits took about 3 hours each to draw on the sides of buildings. In Colorado, chalk is not considered graffitti or vandelisim as it is not a permanent medium so the police were powerless to stop the Chalker in her nightly quest in late August 2011. They did learn to carry their cameras during the night patrol in order to be the first to collect a photo of the work of whom the newspaper dubbed; The Commercial Street Chalker. On the last night before going back to college, a wile reporter hid in an alley and caught the Chalker as she was finishing the portrait of Johnny Depp. In the morning paper the town read that the segacous artist was the town’s darling, Alicia Campos. Some bets were won, some were lost.
