Hey Justin,

Great work!

I am actually inundated with requests in the city. So much so that I cannot keep up with the demand. If you're interested in doing this kind of work perhaps we can collaborate and I can hire you to work for me.

Let me know,
Thanks,

Rajiv ]]>

Great work, Rajiv!  I do this, too, and travel all over.  I am also a street painter/chalk artist and do the 3D art.  I have been able to make a living doing this, too, which is great.  I learned the basics of design at UCLA, but I learned all about large scale chalk art on my own.  Check out my website at www.AmazingStreetPainting.com.]]>

Congrats to Rajiv for his excellent work and for this write-up.

As other comments point out, other artist do this type of work.  One artist I am aware of is Jennifer Chaparro, whose work is in demand world wide.  Two notable vertical (on a wall) pieces of her chalk art can be seen on her website.  The first is a take off of "American Gothic" for the Pebble Beach Food and Wine Festival and the work she did for the Dalkey Dispensary, in Dalkey, Ireland.  Photos are at her website. ]]>

I do this in Nashville and fly all over for big jobs.  It's fun, If it doesn't last I will go back to illustration.  Dana may have made it popular but she didn't event it.  It's been on magazine covers since at least the 70s, I found a fully chalked Newsweek cover from the late 70s at a garage sale.  It's great that it's back.  Chalk will always be around in some form, it works for education, advertising, business, it's why it's so popular.]]>

I just object to the title of this article. I mean it's great that he's parlayed this into a business and BlogTO wants to let us know about his success but doing a second article on one guy doesn't mean "demand for chalk artistry in Toronto keeps growing". It's not. I've been doing monthly/bimonthly chalk murals at Unlovable for a year and a half. There isn't really any 'demand' for it that I've seen. Maybe in other cities thanks to Dana but not here.]]>

Check out the amazing, ever-changing original murals done by Justin Cozens on the chalkboard at Unlovable. He does it "to keep his chops up" not to advertise businesses - a true artist using many media to express his unique vision.Find out  more by watching him work at Unlovable...he started AFTER this TOBlog article http://www.blogto.com/bars/unlovable-toronto ]]>

Good for him for not forgetting the "little guys" who employed him at the start of his career, and that he will do small jobs.  Too many successful people forget about that.  Amazing work, and continued success.]]>

This young chaps lettering is quite nice; kudos to him for turning his passion into a business! 

I was a bit surprised that Dana Tanamachi wasn't mentioned in either article. She's been at the forefront of this chalk typography trend for awhile in NYC, and is probably one of the main reasons we're now seeing it pop-up in Toronto. I'd be interested to know if Rajiv was inspired by her work/business model. ]]>
