The 6th annual Lucasfilm Sidewalk Art Festival took place recently and brought some chalky quality to the pavements of the Presidio.
Anina Walas, writing over at StarWars.com took a look at the dazzling art that was on display.
Earlier this month, Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic employees once again descended upon the sidewalks of the Letterman Digital Arts Center in San Francisco’s Presidio to show off their best chalk-art skills. After teams of two to four people labored all day on creating their original pieces, it became clear who the real winner of the 6th annual Lucasfilm Sidewalk Art Festival was: porgs. (Which should come as a surprise to absolutely no one.) The ridiculously adorable little creatures could be found in almost every decorated square — mashed up with everything from Disney movies to Game of Thrones, as is tradition at the event.
This year, voting was open to all attendees, replacing the panel of judges from years past, and each porg, Star Wars, and Disney-inspired chalk work was in the running for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place, as well as the title of “Best Disney-Themed” and “Best Star Wars-Themed”.
Exploring the galaxy since 1978, Mark wrote his first fan fiction in 1981 and been a presence online since his first webpage Fanta War in 1996. He currently contributes to Star Wars Insider, ILM.com, SkywalkerSound.com and Starburst Magazine, having previously written for StarWars.com, Star Wars Encyclopedia, Build The Millennium Falcon, Geeky Monkey, TV Film Memorabilia and Model and Collectors Mart.
He is a four-time Star Wars Celebration Stage host, the only podcaster to have appeared on every Celebration podcast stage since it began in 2015, the Daily Content Manager of Fantha Tracks and the co-host of Making Tracks, Canon Fodder and Start Your Engines on Fantha Tracks Radio.
