Awesome 3D Sidewalk Art


They are amazing because they 1) look real 2) are completely flat but look 3 Dimensional 3) drawn only with chalk.

The author of these great drawing is a super creative person also known as Pavement Picasso whose name is Julian Beever.

Not to reinvent the wheel I will cite Wikipedia: “Julian Beever is an English chalk artist who has been creating trompe-l’œil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. His works are created using a projection called anamorphosis, and create the illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle.

Beever works as a freelance performance artist and creates murals for companies.” Keep in mind that every sidewalk drawing is entirely flat!

Phew, that was an easy introduction! Enjoy the pictures, my friends.

The Artist Faces Himself
How did he know how he looks from the side? I bet he asked someone to take his picture in that position. And one little interesting detail - the beer on the left is real, not on the right.
Square Of Slabs Removed From Sidewalk
Someone has to punish him for ruining the public property!
Eiffel Tower Sand-Sculpture
Look closely at the tip of the Tower - there are a couple standing on it. I hate the bench behind them, because it’s ruining the picture.

This drawing was drawn in Paris and used in Gallery HD television series “Concrete Canvas” (Episode 8).
Waterpool with a chick, Redondo Beach, CA
This drawing was also created for an episode of “Concrete Canvas”.
A Coca-Cola Bottle Lying On The Sidewalk
It seems that Julian Beever is a huge fan of brands.
Box Of Chalks
Those must be the chalks he uses for his pavement drawings.
A Dead Fly On The Sidewalk
Julian Beever knows how to make his drawing even cooler.
Transformer at Union Square
Transformer comes out from the pavement. Seems a bit astonished.
Holes on San Francisco pavement
Be careful not to fall down here!
Nokia Town?
This drawing is in Singapore. Not sure if the title is correct. Again, it shows that he is a fan of brands. Or maybe Nokia paid him?
Dies Irae (Day of Wrath)
The day of wrath has begun with this hole on the pavement.
Batman & Robin to the Rescue
It is still hard to believe that it is entirely flat surface.
Water Rafting
The illusion is quite strong here, of course they are just sitting in one place and look quite stupid for the people passing by.
Ants
At first, it is hard to understand what the drawing is all about. But I can cite the author from his website: “Ants : a colony of leaf-cutter ants builds a bridge in Buenos Aires.” Would you have guessed it?
Arctic street conditions
After a hard work a seal came out of the pavement and rewarded Julian Beever with a soft drink.
DHL Boy
A DHL boy delivering a parcel all the way from China - that’s how they do it so fast!
Push the bout out
I think it is the most realistic illusion, seems like a real hole with a water inside.
Politicians Meeting Their End
At last - politicians are meeting their end! But don’t be so happy, its just an illusionary drawing…
It was drawn near The Bank of England and was commissioned by Channel 4’s Midnight Special for the night of the 1997 General Election.
Bottle of Beer
This picture would look best if someone was standing on it’s cork.
Gold digging



This guy is incredible! (and must be rich too, since he found gold beneath the pavement).
The series were used by White’s Electronics of Inverness in Treasure Hunting magazine.
Taking the plunge
If Julian really took that plunge, that must have hurt his head really bad.
Beneath every street
Beneath every street
Beneath every street there are pipes. Have a drink!
