Julian Beever

Julian Beever, or  "Sidewalk Chalk Guy", is a UK based artist that specializes in pavement drawings, traditional paintings, and wall murals.  What fascinates me the most, however, are his pavement drawings.  He creates his works with various chalk or pastel products by using a projection called anamorphosis.

He has been creating these "sidewalk masterpieces" since the mid-1990s and, naturally, they attract quite a bit of attention.  Nevertheless, since they are made of chalk, they don't tend to last very long, I don't know if any of them have been preserved.  I think the ephemeral quality of his work, and the whimsical nature, is what draws people to it.
