Coffee shops have been using chalkboard illustrations and typography lately. There is something beautiful about chalkboard art. Maybe because it seems so transient with its faded colors, for nothing feels more ephemeral than creative designs that can be erased with a wave of one’s hand. However, when it comes to chalkboard signs, coffee shops use them because they can easily change menu items or working hours.

Chalkboard art is mainly used for café and restaurant menus when decorating hotel or office walls. Granted, creating illustrations of this kind requires creativity, skills, and a lot of practice. For this very reason, we are always impressed with chalkboard designs whenever they pop up. Thus, this collection shows 21 minutely-detailed examples of chalkboard art from all over the globe:
