Spilling Crayons ...

“Artists are just children who refuse to put down their crayons.”

   ~ Al Hirschfeld

   ~American caricaturist best known for his black & white portraits of celebrities & Broadway stars

     ~ 1903 ~ 2003

Crayola crayons spill out of their box from the roof of the Crayola Experience on an early November afternoon in downtown Easton, Pennsylvania. I shot this view of the back of the building, whose front faces Centre Square.

The Crayola Experience is a roomy, crayon-centric warehouse with colorful kid-friendly activities, events, a cafe & a store.

Crayola LLC, formerly Binney & Smith (1885-2007), is an American handicraft company, specializing in artists’ supplies. It is known for its brand Crayola and best known for its crayons. The company is based in Forks Township, adjacent to Easton.

Crayola Colors Centre Square ...


“As time goes on,
I realize
Just what you mean
To me
And now,
Now that you’re near,
Promise your love
That I’ve waited to share
And dreams
Of our moments together
Color my world with hope of loving you.”
     ~ “Colour My World”
  ~ written by American musician James Pankow, one of the founding members of the rock/jazz fusion band “Chicago”
       ~ 1970
“Colour My World” became a popular “slow dance” song at high school proms, university dances and weddings during the 1970s.

A smiling crayon looks over Centre Square from a window in the Crayola Experience on a late November afternoon in Easton, Pennsylvania.
