The LAPD was not amused at the Pasadena Chalk Art Festival

The Pasadena Chalk Art Festival wrapped up on Sunday afternoon. 

Apparently the LAPD did not consider this image even slightly amusing.  On Monday morning after the Festival, this "art work" had been completely erased.  A couple of others nearby had also been removed -- by whom I am not sure.



But to give you a quick overview of the Pasadena Chalk Art works...

Two artists attempted to create the illusion of depth in their art works.  One created the image of a boy clinging to the edge of a well.   

The other drew the terracotta warriors as they were found buried in the earth in China.  Trivia:  the first emperor of China who had the terracotta warriors buried to protect his grave, put a curse on anyone who would dig up his tomb.  And even the Communists won't touch it -- over 2000 years later!

Two other artists looked to mother and child for inspiration -- with very differing images.

And as for the young woman who was splashing poster paint all over her square yesterday, well, she added a chalk art pig to her utterly untraditional background.

There was also a car show yesterday, Sunday, in front of Paseo Colorado.  It really was a big festival weekend in Pasadena.
