The Columbia College of Art and Design was the unlikely place of a mystery. Two senior students would sneak into the college on the weekend to draw works of art on a chalkboard. They go by the name Dangerdust, and although they had websites (Twitter, Instagram, tumblr), they never revealed themselves. |
Each Monday the college would be thrilled with the art students striking works, drawing inspiration from a cosmopolitan array of characters including John Lennon, Mark Twain, Neil Degrasse Tyson and Julia Child. |
Labor intensive: the works could take up to 11 hours to create, and they would do it in one sitting. |
|
Some of their work would focus on integrate black and white lines and shading, while others popped with color, including a pastel tribute to perennial childhood favorite Dr Seuss. |
After graduating, it now seems as if they have turned their school shenanigans into a business. You can admire or even buy some of their work from their Etsy and Behance accounts. |
