This week, we've got a golden oldie for you. Jennifer Jean Lee's night elf/orc pavement chalk, created way back in 2006, resurfaced recently on Twitter after a belated nod from @Warcraft's #BlizzSpotlight, which highlights noteworthy fan-made crafts.

We followed up with artist Jennifer Jean Lee, who's long since retired from playing WoW. "Back in the day when I did the chalk painting, I was a dedicated player," she wrote us. "I might go back one day, once I've accomplished some goals such as making iPhone apps and posting comics regularly." In the meantime, Jennifer's not completely given up on WarCrafting. She's currently at work on a number of WoW-related items for her Etsy shop, in preparation for the holidays.

We here at WoW.com are on a Daily Quest to bring you interesting, informative and entertaining WoW-related links from around the blogosphere.

I know, I know -- it's a goofy title, but seeing this huge chalk-art version of World of Warcraft, how could I resist? Apparently the finished work (located in San Diego, CA), took over 13 hours, spread out over two days, to complete. That's a lot of effort for something that's going to vanish in the first hard rain -- but fortunately, the process is documented with these beautiful photos on the artist's website.
