Happy 2018 Everyone!
With a new year underway, we look back at the 2017 3D and 4D pieces by internationally recognized artist Anthony Cappetto created around the US and around the world.
The art was fun to design, to create, and we look forward to more 3D art for our clients, returning and new.
New York Build: Javits Center, NYC
Inspired by the iconic 'Lunch Atop a Skyscraper', we created the steel beam hovering over Manhattan at a Building Tradeshow.
'Collapsing Ramp' Garden Grove, CA: A 3D chalk art piece tying in augmented reality (4D) seen through an onsite monitor. We used digital models of robots and fluttering flags of our client to bring human interaction (me on bicycle), the 3D hand drawn chalk art, and the augmented reality animation.
Sunflowers and dragonflies in Battery Park, NYC: A street art installation for an event for Battery Park City Parks in June.
'Freedom' Baltimore, MD: A social and political statement made to address the current atmosphere in the US with the concept of butterflies escaping oppression in any of its forms in September.
'Betta Fish Kite' Crewe, England, United Kingdom: Expressing the beauty and conceptuality of a fish kite hovering over the countryside at a festival in the UK last August.
'A Puzzling Reality' Tizarte Event in Antwerp, Belgium: A 3D street art piece using a purposely fading motif of a puzzle fading away to 'reality' and objects such as the sunflowers fading from higher resolution to simpler resolution. Our dragonflies were designed consistently at the same level across the piece to overlay/tie in the fadeaway concept.
' Refugee: Here but Not Here...': A serious piece address the issue of refugee children throughout the world, although we focused on Syria, South Sudan, and Myanmar. The child in an atmosphere of desolation enjoys a respite blowing bubbles (given to her by an aid worker) evanescent, temporal just as we feel for the child's plight but move on quickly - Here but Not Here...
LIC Beer Festival, Long Island City NYC: A sunny Fall day brought us to create this entertaining design with pumpkins, pretzels, and of course - beer!
This was a fun year with the art experimenting with tying in animated augmented reality, conceptual ideas, sociopolitical messages, and interacting with our public in the US and abroad.
A special thanks to Wendy Stum who assisted and collaborated with me on some of the pieces especially 'Freedom' and ' Refugee: Here but Not Here...'.

We've had a summer (and early Fall), series of 3D street art that has taken us back and forth from UK and Europe, to express a timely statement, and finally to bring 3D chalk art as local entertainment in our home base here in New York City.

Late Sunday afternoon in Long Island City with the Manhattan skyline in the distance. It was great to be able to do these 3D street art pieces in different places with fun, interesting people, creative artists from different parts of the world. Most exciting projects await!

What a fun weekend for 3D chalk art - especially when you are doing a piece for the hometown crowd!
Did a 3D piece for the Queens Beer Festival at the LIC Flea & Food space in Long Island City, NY for a family based crowd over a two day period.
Let's see how the 3D came together!
With the backdrop of Manhattan as seen from Long Island City, we were set up and ready to start on a beautiful Fall day...
A 3D chalk art project from Anthony Cappetto and Art for After Hours starts with a concept sketch. We create our own designs working with our clients to meet their needs and goals for events and projects.
Starting the chalk layout on the pavement-
From sketching to rendering in chalk- Detail at Pumpkins...
Working on the pretzel-
Just as we completed on Sunday Afternoon-

A reverse view of the anamorphic illusion showing the way how the art is to be drawn to see the 3D illusion properly through your camera, tablet, or lens.
At the end of the festival, we got one last picture in of the completed 3D chalk art piece. It was a great weekend with families, food, and fun... Imagine your next 3D chalk art in food, drink, and entertainment. Discuss your project with Anthony Cappetto at Art for After Hours.
