Yesterday, after chalking at Frost Park, I bought two small chalkboards at Tacoma's "creative reuse center" and alternative art supply store, Tinkertopia. I laid down a layer of red and black tempera paint before dinner and later in the evening I chalked over that dried coat of paint.

"Red Octopus" was inspired by the resident red octopus at the Highline MaST Center of Des Moines, Washington.
