Hang on Mike! That is, 3D street painting (Chalk)artist Michael Macaulay bringing his engaging, interactive art form to the Commodity Classic tradeshow at the Tampa Convention Center from March 2nd through March 4th, 2011.
This Art for After Hours project celebrates the announcement on the new 'Enlist' weed control system for the agricultural community, which was presented with a prominent corn stalk growing from the rich argricultural landscape of the United States.
Mike is seen hanging on as 'tightly' as possible from the tassels of the chalk drawn cornstalk, eliciting interest and attention to the message via attractively designed and drawn art.
Here is a detail showing the farmland visible when viewers look 'down' into the 3D street painting image.
What many attendees will not readily be aware of is the importance of the artists control of the foreshortened and extended drawing methods required to allow the 3D street painting to have the successful illusionary effects seen when photographed or as video using a camera lens, making the images seen online and in social media. Michael Macaulay is pictured chalking the corn stalk early on in the street painting process in Tampa.
The finished 3D street painting as designed and drawn by 3D street painting artist Michael Macaulay for Art for After Hours for the Commodity Classic in Tampa, FL. The art was created in two and a half days time.
