Honoring a Fallen Chalkstar...Mark Planisek

A year ago today, Mark Planisek left us far too soon.
A fierce friend to all who knew him, Mark was a great artist
and human being. One incredible sense of humor...
When he wasn't working for the National Portrait Gallery as Art
Handler or creating his distinctive brand of painting/collage/
sculpture, he found time to support CHALK4PEACE and
participated in three of the annual events. He is truly missed...

THE PEOPLE WHO MAKE CHALK4PEACE HAPPEN...

These are some of the folks who organize the artists
and encourage CHALK4PEACE around the world...
WE THANK YOU FOR BEING TRUE CHALKSTARS!
