The Journey Continues
Drawing on Earth has been around for twenty some years. I, Mark Lewis Wagner, Founder of DoE, have been chalk drawing/street painting since 1994. The nonprofit has worked with over 40,000 kids and adults, has two World Records for chalk drawings, has drawn on three continents, and has had six pieces of art photographed by satellites.

Oakland Zoo Earth Day 2022
We have been chalk drawing at the Oakland Zoo for Earth Day since 2016. This weekend was the first time back drawing since Covid. I brought 8 of my Chabot College student and paid them for the day to chalk draw. We showed up at 8am and it was pouring down rain. We came back after the rains and worked on wet surface which is great because the chalk melts and turns into something like tempera paint. We created a 100 year Anniversary piece, then signage for the Zoo, and ended with a large community interactive chalk drawing. It's so good to just put a box of chalk down on the ground and watch kids and some parents [...]
