                  After many years of competing at anime convention masquerades, winning

                  PERFORMING ARTISTS
                  An extraordinary pair of artists, the Chalk Twins are renowned for their chalk
                  murals of epic proportions. Traveling the world in pursuit of artistic mastery,
                  they are a regular installment at conventions and events across the country
                  where they produce massive chalk masterpieces live. The Chalk Twins are truth

                  When you see them, we encourage you to get down low and talk to them. They
                  would be glad to answer questions and talk about art, geeky stuff, twin stuff –
