Bioshock01.jpg My spot outside the convention... heavy security for the chalk artist. image by arteric

Bioshock02.jpg I draw the grid, and in the 90 degree heat and high humidity, I sweat all over the pavement. image by arteric

Bioshock03.jpg I draw the outline for the logo, taking care to make it as exact as possible. image by arteric

Bioshock04.jpg The finished white outline, I am now ready to start adding the color, and my back all ready hurts. image by arteric

Bioshock05.jpg Everyone has left the convention by this point, all by myself I begin to color the logo. image by arteric

Bioshock07.jpg I draw in fake cracks... the pavement was actually really smooth here. Up close they are ok, but from a few feet back many are fooled. image by arteric

Bioshock08.jpg I begin the words, and the Bioshock people are impressed that I match their font so well. I end here the first night about 1:30 in the morning. image by arteric

Bioshock09.jpg Morning on day two, a huge line waits to get into the convention, right by my piece. image by arteric

Bioshock15.jpg The convention center people are awesome, they bring out a portable life and raise it 20 feet in the air to get this photo... I am so happy I have this record. image by arteric
