Carnival Fun Chalk Mural

5’x5’ chalk mural for the 2024 Erie County Fair. The theme was “Carnival fun + The Erie County Fair”. I leaned heavily into the agricultural aspect of this fair while staying true to my love for drawing quirky characters. Additional elements include the Strates Ferris Wheel (a nod to the 100 year anniversary of the partnership between Strates and Erie County), the flags from the Erie county Fairgrounds logo, decor, fireworks, etc. The actual chalk piece, moooooving the hearts of both judges and onlookers, earned me a red ribbon for this design. Despite a tough weather day, this was an udderly wonderful day of chalking!
