Two anonymous students from Columbus College of Art and Design in Ohio call themselves 'Dangerdust' and they cleverly turn motivational quotes into chalkboard art. Their pieces are created at random and left in empty classrooms for students and teachers to discover the next morning.
The 'Dangerdust' duo both study graphic design at Columbus College and are extremely interested in the art of typography. Routinely, the pair pick the motivational quote, design a typographic sketch and illustration for the quote and sneak into a classroom Sunday or Monday night to recreate the image. They are known to spend up to 11 hours creating these enormous and brilliantly delicate chalkboard artworks that feature sayings from influential individuals like Banksy and Mark Twain.
