chalk



"It is a form of limestone mainly composed of mineral calcite" my high school chemistry teacher said showing us the half used chalk she was writing with. i picked up another half used chalk that was constantly thrown around at other students when the teacher turned her back to write on the blackboard, i examined its smooth surface on the sides, the rough surface at the ends where it had been broken.i intuitively picked up a papercutter and began carving, i imagined a million tiny particles being tightly squeezed together to form a firm yet was brittle structure, just perfect to carve and shape into anything i wanted. by the end of the class a smooth form had emerged. i dont remember what i had made but i remember the process like it happened yesterday. i used cutters to carve until i was gifted a wonderful carving set by one of my friends. i moved on to soft wood on pencils to even harder wood but chalk or pop still have its nice smooth easy feeling.

i carved this on a piece of chalk i found at my product design studio. sadly it now lies broken in one of my friends lockers.

My 1st illustration with copic markers, these magical pens create an unexpectedly delightful with half the time and effort when compared to pencil colors, the greys are a charm but the colors are still tricky to use.
