Artists want to express themselves freely whenever inspiration strikes them. Two art students from the Columbus College of Arts and Design definitely expressed themselves by sneaking into classrooms late Sunday or Monday evenings and would create incredible chalk art.
They are two anonymous students majoring in Advertising and Graphic Design and they go by the name ‘Dangerdust’. They don’t cheat or steal and the only thing dangerous about them is their talent for creating masterpieces out of chalk because it is incredibly inspiring and beautiful.
Every Sunday or Monday night, anonymous art duo Dangerdust work their magic.
