The Magic Chalk

For our BFA Final we had to develop concept art for the story 'The Magic Chalk" by Kobo Abe. The story is about an artist, Argon living in San Francisco, struggling to make his way through life. He lives in a run down apartment, leaving him with little or no money at all to get food. He soon finds a magic chalk that magically turns anything he draws to life. For my concept I decided to set the story in 1965. The artist i tried to emulate was Neil Campbell Ross. I still have a lot to fix, but good thing we're on winter break.
