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.
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.
Someone has to punish him for ruining the public property!
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).
This drawing was also created for an episode of “Concrete Canvas”.
It seems that Julian Beever is a huge fan of brands.
Those must be the chalks he uses for his pavement drawings.
Julian Beever knows how to make his drawing even cooler.
Transformer comes out from the pavement. Seems a bit astonished.
Be careful not to fall down here!
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?
The day of wrath has begun with this hole on the pavement.
It is still hard to believe that it is entirely flat surface.
The illusion is quite strong here, of course they are just sitting in one place and look quite stupid for the people passing by.
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?
After a hard work a seal came out of the pavement and rewarded Julian Beever with a soft drink.
A DHL boy delivering a parcel all the way from China - that’s how they do it so fast!
I think it is the most realistic illusion, seems like a real hole with a water inside.
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.
This picture would look best if someone was standing on it’s cork.
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.
If Julian really took that plunge, that must have hurt his head really bad.
Beneath every street
Beneath every street there are pipes. Have a drink!
