I came across those pictures of pavement drawings, made in 3D with coloured chalk. They are amazing and a true magic of their own. It's also a lot of fun to see the two that are taken from a wrong angle, because those drawings only work from one angle.

The artist is Julian Beever. I don't know for sure, but I think he's Belgian, but he has drawn on pavements in the UK, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, the USA and Australia.

I hope you enjoy as much as I!

But a nice find, some newer ones there!!!

Why is this guy not famous, like Banksy?

He IS famous!

He's been around for ages, I've actually seen his work.

So famous he's even been on TV (BBC) and has his own entry on the Wikipedia!!!

Ooops. I don't get out much...

There are some clever (and new!) images in that selection above - I wonder how long it takes to do them and how long they last? Many of the pavement artists I've seen draw on cloth or canvas and stretch that out in the street to save having to re-do them.

I got all of these in an email a while back and still think they're amazing. The two aren't from the wrong angle [well, he knew that] its just to show you how long and big they really are.

perspective is a wonderful thing!

and the sense of depth is amazing!

True - these are things of beauty, I am literally in awe of the talent that goes into creating these!

This is amazing work! If you have any other images, feel free to post or link me to them.
