Art for After Hours: Kit Kat Chalk Art for TV commercial (released 2012)

Hi everyone,

Art for After Hours is happy to share our chalk work for a recently released national tv commercial for Kit Kat this month.

Art for After Hours artist Michael Macaulay (below) worked to create the client's design intent for the chalk artist themed commercial under very tight schedules and challenging conditions (intermittent rain) for a very successful outcome.

 

Onsite, Michael is touching up the tagline to be placed with the Kit Kat bar chalk art during the shoot.

The chalk art was touched up onsite to blend into the cobblestone surface without actually touching it for neatness and aesthetics.  The cones and tape protected the chalk art before the actors arrived for the shoot.

 It was fun for Art for After Hours to be involved on the project and look forward to bringing our 3D chalk art into future commercial opportunities.

Art for After Hours at Artisphere 2012: Anthony Cappetto and Shawn McCann

Hello to our readers from the Artisphere International Arts Festival in Greenville SC.

Art for After Hours was happy to come back down to this fun festival celebrating art in early May to re create 2D street paintings, a pleasant diversion from our 3D illusionary artworks.

 

This year, Shawn McCann and I both re-created art works from artist Daryl Thetford who uses collage in his works.

 

Shawn's piece was the 2012 poster for the Artisphere festival:

Here is a detail from the piece:

Anthony created a Guitar piece from Thetford 's works:

The works both had deatils which we were happy to express in chalk:

It was a fun time for all of us at Artisphere this year, despite and unexpected rain day but our spirits were not deterred.  Looking forward to returning again in 2013!

Artisphere 2012: Art for After Hours chalk artists Anthony Cappetto and Shawn McCann returning to Greenville!

This weekend, fellow chalk artist Shawn McCann and I will be heading back to Greenville, SC to share our chalk art with the visitors to the Artisphere International Arts Festival.  Here are the sketches we will be re-creating at the event this weekend.  Although Shawn and I typically create large scale 3D chalk art projects with Art for After Hours - Its fun to do some nice 2d on occasion too.  Especially with the tasty Southern cooking in Greenville!

We are very excited about doing these pieces which will be far brighter and more intentified when rendered in chalk live at Artisphere.

Looking forward to seeing our old friends and to make new ones this weekend in Greenville SC.

'Havoc' Murals and Humidor Painting at CIGARfest 2012

Hi!

In a diversion from my regular 3D street painting art, I was offered the opportunity to do some mural work and humidor painting at the Romeo y Julieta booth at CIGARfest 2012.  This event is one of the largest cigar themed events in the country and regardless of where people stand on cigar smoking, the opportunity to create art for viewers was fun to do, people were very appreciative, and all of the work that I did was raffled off to help support a good cause which was for an organization providing help and support to mentally challenged individuals in the region of Lake Harmony, PA.

 

This was one of two murals that I did promoting the new 'Havoc' cigar by Romeo Y Julieta measuring approximately five by five feet in size.

Later on in the day, the murals were raffled off to a lucky attendee!

Here I am posing with two of ten laquered humidors celbrating the 'Havoc' cigar.  The artworks were done in gold and silver marker, raffled off to lucky attendees during the event.

The humidors done in silver...

And humidors done in Gold...

 

Lots of fun to do!

Magic Beans! Art for After Hours at the Tribeca Film Festival Family Street Fair 2012

Hi everyone,

Its been a little while since we've been on Business of Street Painting Art but we have had some new developments we wish to share with our readers.  It was great to be able to share 3D chalk art live on the streets of New York City to such an appreciative audience.  Wendy and I had a great time!

 

 

 

This was a quick but fun project for the Tribeca Film Festival Family Street Fair with the family friendly theme of 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.

This project took a day and a half to do, and measured approximately 8' by 13' in size.

The chalk work around our piece (seen from the other side) was from the young children who were excited to see the fairy tale art and responded with masterpieces of their own...

 

BTW, I'm entered in the 'Art Takes Times Square' billboard event on June 18th and closng in on my goal of having large 3D street painting such as 'Visions of Cambodia' flashed on the billboards of Times Square!  To 'collect' my portfolio, click the link below and follow the instructions.
