Amazing chalk pictures

My apologies for the dearth of postings lately. My attention has been scattered by an essay on Spinoza, closely reading Emerson and Nietzsche for an upcoming conference, and a conference paper on Nietzsche, and a book project on Spinoza — and a family vacation to DC, which was a blast. Anyhow, in the meantime, here is a sampling of some unbelievable chalk paintings:

More about the artist, and more fascinating works, can be found here.

    Damn, I wish I read German. A bunch of stuff is now available at Nietzsche Source, including this 1882 notebook with Emerson excerpts:

    What a nifty sight. I can read some German, but FN’s handwriting is another matter!

    FYI, as I recall your book project on Spinoza concerns his view of religion:
