OPEN ⟹ [that yelling art meme from the iron giant goes here]
WHO: Yusuke (fabrefactions) and anyone in the area who likes the idea of chALK ART
WHERE: Outside Palettes.
WHEN: 7/15
WHAT: just chalk art. Also, pictionary and probably shenanigans.
WARNINGS: I'm willing to bet money someone draws a dick.
{ chalk art }
[ Anyone wandering past Palettes today might be forgiven for thinking the store itself had exploded out onto the street outside - there are boxes of brightly coloured chalks, some open, others still sealed, littering the paving slabs, and selections of cloths, water, and liquid chalk markers seem to be dotted around randomly.
For those trying to actually get into the store, not only is there an obstacle course of art supplies to get through, there's also Yusuke. And Yusuke is budging for no one. He's completely absorbed in what he's doing - streaks of chalk dust littering his arms and one streak smudged across his cheek, as he works on his temporary art piece with all the attention he'd give something permanent or on canvas.
To be fair to him though, he's keeping his work to a square no bigger than a large canvas, leaving plenty of street space for other people to join him and let their own creativity run wild. In fact, the layout seems to be set up with some thought to other people joining in... so why not go for it?]
{ pictionary }
[ Amidst all the chalk art, there is a section of pavement and chalk boxes just off to the side of Palettes itself that seems to haven been kept clear on purpose. Alongside the supplies for drawing, someone has left a game box propped up against the window of the shop, with the instructions for how to play Pictionary sellotaped neatly to the glass itself. There's even a little chalk board on an easel propped up in the same place.
So, if expressing yourself through the expressive and exciting medium of chalk art isn't your thing, why not indulge yourself in a nice, friendly and not at all frustrating game of pictionary?
But with chalk. ]
{ buy things }
[ When it comes down to it though, Palettes is still a business and still doing its best to earn money. And seeing as half the shop has spilled outside, there are a couple of little sales set ups near by. Selling chalk, pens, pencils, sketchbooks, like a literal high light reel of what the shop itself has to offer.
Maybe you've been inspired, and want to quit your job and design the next big thing in the world of art? Well, luckily for you, Palettes has a sketch pad for that. And canvas. And paint sets.
Everything.
Buy it. ]
{ wildcard }
[ You literally have access to all the chalk, art supplies in general and space to go buck wild and do whatever you want. Go wild, chalk the town red. Play some games. Have a good, good time. ]

...
Or rather, he's going to run on time delay and blink a little owlishly up at Gamzee. ]
A memory? [ parDON ]

A pic to keep forever, Yusky. Careful with the bridge.
[ he gestures at the 3D chalk bridge. it’s dangerous. ]
no subject
You spent a lot of time on that. The fake dimension aspect is very remarkable.
[ HE KNOWS THAT THERE BRIDGE IS FAKE AS HECK but... looking at it gives that same feeling of height, like he were looking at an actual bridge hanging in midair. Remarkable. ]
Is this similar to the graffiti artwork you do, in terms of the process if not the materials?
no subject
Yup. Hang around all night ‘till it’s done. [ he plays around with a chalk stick, scribbling on his own cheek with it. he’s starting to miss his face paint, man. ] Never used chalk though? Only when I was a chico.
no subject
I've never considered it, but I went to a chalk art festival back in March and had been wanting to play with the medium since. Now, with the weather more likely to remain dry, seemed like the best time.

Over there. It's certainly not finished, but it's coming along nicely.

[ He's eyeing the art piece and figuring out where he could stand for maximum aesthetic.
Also excuse. ]
no subject
[ hmm maybe . . . ]
Maybe you can trip on the edge over there?
no subject
So... wobble awkwardly. I see.
[ He's all just. Limbs. So it's going to look a bit like a gangly scarecrow about to topple off a fake cliff into the jaws of an equally fake alligator, but... hey. Maybe that's what Gamzee wanted. ]

it’s selfie time. ]
On honk, bro. Ready? Win an oscar.
[ he holds the phone up and starts the count down. one, two
honk ]

[ I hope you wanted this selfie to include Yusuke looking very thoughtful, Gamzee, because that is what he's doing in the back of this selfie. 10/10, what a beauty. ]
