Great vid, I was just wondering why you chose to put it in the "A Bit of Parody" collective?

while it is not parody in the sense we usualy think of I found this definiton kinda explains it.

Parody: An imitation intended for humorous effect.

what imitation and what humorous effect?
good video, but this definately does not belong in the parody collective

imitation of something real.. his art is meant to dupe people into thinking it is 3 demensional when it is not. you look at the art and go... what the the hell? then as you realize its chalk, laugh and go damn!. sounds like parody to me, even if it is a small strech.

sorry. shouldnt have downvoted this... my apologies

*music ?

Gold Star invocations (music) cannot be executed by southblvd because southblvd is not a Gold Star member - sorry.

Seriously impressed with the guy's skills and creativity, but he's 100% corporate shill. All his works now are just product placement. He did one in NYC of a Transformer with a bottle of Mountain Dew. It didn't look inspired at all.
