Pavement Picasso

Julian Beever is an English artist who's famous for his anamorphic art on the pavements of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium. Beever gives an amazing illusion to his drawings, so that the objects appear to be three dimensional rather than flat as they actually are.
"My art is for anybody, it's for people who wouldn't go into an art gallery. It's art for the people."

"Art shouldn't be locked away in galleries and libraries and books. Art should be for everybody and not just art buffs, historians and so-called experts."

    Awesome pics,SER! They look so three-dimitional... I really like the raft towards the croc one.

    I've seen these before. Very very cool! I'd love to see some in real life.

    Jeze, I hope that kid doesn't end it all by jumping off that building. There is a crisis line he can call first!

    I've seen them before, too. Simply amazing. It's all "perspective," something I don't have.
