Quite a while ago someone showed me Julian Beever's pavement drawings, and they are amazing! I know a lot of people are already aware of Beever's creative sidewalk chalk art, but for those of you who have never experienced it, prepare yourself to be blown away. Beever draws his sidewalk masterpieces in a distorted manner that from the correct angle gives the drawing a a 3 dimensional illusion. Some of his drawings would literally make you stop walking down the street to avoid falling into what looks like an open sewer lid or raging river. Although Beever's sidewalk art cannot be saved in museums and galleries like famous artists of the past and present, Beever's unique artwork is definitely worth your time to check out.
An album of Beever's pavement art can be found on his website here. I highly recommend visiting his page and looking at some of the crazy artwork he has done!
These photos are an example of the distortion technique used to give the 3-D illusion.
