Julian Beever - Street Artist.........


I was just looking on the BBC West Midlands web-page to see what was going on back in my home city of Birmingham and there was a feature about the 'Street Art' of Julian Beever........

The link below takes you to a site dedicated to his art work, click on the thumbnails and be completely blown away...... The pictures are all done in chalk on pavements/ sidewalks etc........

He uses 3d drawing techniques that, fool you into believing something is actually there infront of you rather than flat on the ground.......

STREET ART - JULIAN BEEVER

I've seen his work before loads of times, he is amazing! You have to look at his art from one angle only (the way it is shown in the photos on his website), otherwise the art looks all weird and flat. When you look at it from the angle in which he intended it to be drawn, wow!

It said in one article that once he drew holes in the pavement and piles of bricks by the side on the high street in Brum...... people walking toward it were convinced the road had been dug up and avoided the area, and some cyclists even cycled along avoiding the "holes" .......
