Ellis G is a native New Yorker who may be best known for his shadow etchings with chalk. Also involved in other street projects, not too long ago he got into the less temporary and more dangerous game of fire tagging. He recently told us what else he has going on, and it certainly doesn't end at chalkdust and flames.

Looks like Ellis Gallagher, aka Ellis G, has made a giant leap from the fairly safe medium of chalk art, to the highly dangerous looking medium of fire art! Nylon Mag received a photo of the flammable tagging in progress, and their tipster noted that it's "a new obsession" of the artist's. Allegedly "the idea is to paint a tag and light it quickly before it dries," and we'd imagine a goal is to not set oneself or one's surroundings on fire. And people, let's keep a close eye on Natalie Shea, this chalk art thing could be a gateway to arson.
