3-D Sidewalk Art


Julian Beever is known for his astounding 3 dimensional sidewalk art that he draws with chalk. From the side and at wrong angles these pictures make no sense at all, but as you can see at the right angle it looks amazingly real. Look him up and see his other pictures that he has done. They are really cool. I don't know how he figures out the perspective he has to use to make this type of image visable.

Amazing what you can do with pavement and little chalk. Oh, and of course skill. For him to look at pavement and see this art that can come forth, wow! Reminds me of how Jesus sees me as beautiful, even when sometimes I see just pavement.

I would have to walk around the bat may picture because I'd be too affraid I'd fall down to where all those people watching are...

I wonder if someone has fallen in and never come out. Probrably not. I saw a movie where this would happen between Cartoon and a real world. Wasn't it that Dick Tracy looney toon flick from years past?

Roger Rabbit. I don't know why, but the first thing that came to mind was Howard the Duck.
