Chalk the Block has been essential for the Desert Triangle Print Carpeta. Krrrl bought prints from Main-tain Creative Coalition at Chalk the Block in 2012; and then returned from Tucson to show prints in 2013, as the YayBig Southwest Print Collection. In 2014 he showed the YayBig Print Exchange at Chalk the Block, with the Horned Toad Print Exchange from El Paso.
