I thought 3:30pm was plenty of time to get just about anything I wanted. <br />The pavement at the Paseo was a hard lesson learned our very first year. More on that to come. <br />I guess the costumes are becoming what we're known for. I'm fine with that. People associate it with a fun mural. <br />It was an interesting design process, so I thought it would fun to show the progression.

Those ice cream flights sound really good, especially the caramel toffee crunch and the chocolate. Funny to hear how many artists asked about your costume plans instead of your drawing plans (lol)...but I agree with the sentiment that the costume idea really shows one's enthusiasm and really adds to the art creation unfolding on the pavement :-) Like the thought process in developing the final drawing idea and color scheme (beautiful, final picture!)...seeing the various iterations was very interesting.
