From jumping rope with kangaroos to holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa...

. The siblings, from Libertyville, Ill, have been creating wildly imaginative giant-scale works of sidewalk art for 100 days .

Macaire is the artist in the team and Camden poses as a living, breathing subject in the chalk images his sister creates. In a scene from Paris, for example, he strikes a selfie pose before the Eiffel Tower, and in Italy, he holds up the Leaning Tower of Pisa. There are many animal-themed moments too, such as hugging a dinosaur and doing yoga with a flamingo.

Previously a doodler, Macaire never had enough time to hone her artistic skills. But after COVID-19 put an untimely end to her last year in middle school, she set herself a challenge: to create sidewalk art every day for 100 days and dream up adventures and experiences for her little brother. “If you look back at pictures of some of the older chalk art, you can see how much I’ve grown,” Macaire told HuffPost Canada. “The drawings got a lot more elaborate ... a lot cooler. At the beginning, Cam didn’t really go places, but now he goes all over the world, as I’ve gotten better at art from doing this every day.”

And as the images kept coming, neighbours would make a point of coming by too, to check out the latest project. “It puts a smile on people’s faces,” the teen artist said.
