Posted in Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, Bodart, chalk, character, chibi, Drawing, fun, mushrooms, sidewalk, stephg, WABU on June 13, 2010 by ssstephgToday’s temporal gallery consists of a trio of sidewalk drawings snuck in between downpours. None of these lasted longer than a day. Such conditions precipitate an itchy trigger finger–Ol’ Quickdraw Gerolimatos–that’s what they call me round these parts. And so, from the growing archive:

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles: We Heart Concrete and Chalk!
Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, doodle, Drawing, Mr. Brown, sidewalk, stephg, WABU on May 23, 2010 by ssstephgLately, I’ve been a little lax about posting our weekly sidewalk drawings here. Sorry. Today, I’ve got three from the last few days to show you: one seriously ambitious drawing by WABU, one with an unexpectedly sweet message by Mr Brown–ages 15 and 13 respectively–and one by me. Everyone who has happened past has been impressed.

I should probably try to get a shot of the whole sidewalk to give a sense of scale. This first drawing by WABU fills an entire sidewalk section crack to crack and grass to grass!

When it’s 90 something degrees in early April what else is there to do but decorate the sidewalk? I mean aside from sweating and complaining about the heat.

The other week, my four year old friend Ashley and I collaborated on a giant hopscotch board. I drew the squares and she filled them in with random numbers and letters. Every time I stopped, thinking we must be finished, Ashley loudly declared, “KEEP GOING!” So I did. The board began in front of my house and stretched so far down the sidewalk that alot of people actually gave up hopping before they reached the end. On either end of the board, I drew these little characters. I traced the outline of my feet (so the feet are the size of my sneakers) and then drew the rest around that.

I was out drawing on the walk the other day when my friend J came by and started flapping his jaws. I have no idea what he said but at one point when I stepped back he moved his big ol head so that it cast a shadow on the eyes I’d drawn and that cracked me up. It was pretty awesome.

In hindsight, this waterwormthing and eelyfishthing seem premonitory considering the flood warnings that came a few days later.
I could use a new slicker and some waterproof boots.

Sunday Sidewalk Doodles: Noodlerina
Posted in Art, Miscellaneous, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, defying nature, doodle, Drawing, sidewalk, stephg on February 7, 2010 by ssstephg
Friday was nice. I hauled the buckets of chalk out to the walk and pretty soon, a small crowd had gathered. I executed this drawing with some much appreciated guidance from my pal Mr. Brown. He suggested “noodle hair” and the ballerina body. The armpit hair, which I thought was brilliant idea, I happily added at 11 year old Jordan’s suggestion. Kids are pretty awesome.
Not the best pic, I know, but the sidewalk was still pink from the last drawing and there were patches of snow here and there. Whatever. I’m defying nature here. I think it’s easier to see if you click it for a larger view.

Sunday Sidewalk Doodle: Ramen Delight by StephG & Mr. Brown
Posted in Art, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, climate crisis, doodle, Drawing, global warming, Mr. Brown, sidewalk, stephg on January 31, 2010 by ssstephg
Mr. Brown showed up, quickly disappearing bowl of ramen in hand, while I was doodling this. I invited him to draw. He grabbed a stick of chalk and said, “draw a hand coming up here.” as he added the bowl of steaming ramen. The long legs and feet on the step were also Brown’s idea. As Martha would say, spontaneous collaboration: it’s a good thing.
And now, the weather:
Our yearly January thaw was as sweet as ever with temps soaring into the 50s this past week. “All the better to crush you with my dear” said New England in a quick, blistery tumult of wind, snow and ice that road in just as soon as we’d celebrated the short-lived spring-like-ness with another round of ornate concrete temporality. The atomic clock read 9 degrees the other morning when I went out to clear the walk for the shank’s pony crowd. If only climate crisis would respond half as well as the rest of us to the likes of Lithium, Depakote or Abilify. Al could team up with the good sports at Pfizer and Eli Lilly to save the planet or at least mask the symptoms so Earth could burn out quietly under the general public’s radar. Ah, who am I kidding? Despite my Adirondack roots, I prolly couldn’t survive a “real” winter at this point anyway. Luckily, my Catholic upbringing won’t let me appreciate the upside to global warming without an appropriate measure of guilt.
Chronically Conflicted,

Sunday Sidewalk Doodle: Happy Snorkeler
Posted in Art, Miscellaneous, Stephanie Gerolimatos with tags Art, chalk, doodle, Drawing, happy, sidewalk, snorkeler, stephg on January 3, 2010 by ssstephgI spent a while outside drawing this on the sidewalk the day before New Years Eve when the ground was dry and the temperatures not too terribly low. It’s been snowed on and shoveled off a couple of times since then so it’s gotten a little blurry but it’s still visible!
Every year it’s a battle between me and New England winter. And every year I get my ass kicked hard. Usually by this time, I’m just about down for the count. So far, this year is different. Each time I manage to squeeze in another sidewalk drawing, it feels like a tiny victory.
HatCHA!
