Helly Welly Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Wow, that second one is truly amazing. I think he should exhibit in the turbine hall at Tate modern, though chalk wouldn't last long there!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minnie the Moocher Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Wow I think it says acrylic paint was used, so water resistant when dry and will probably wear off with footfall and tyre wear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Wow, those are incredible . Funny how it looks so real, then you see the picture of him standing on it while drawing it and your brain isn't fooled any more . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 They are amazing aren't they? But now I've got a headache from trying to explain them to a 4 and a 6 year old Me 'Its a painting on the road, it's not real' Small boy 'Wow its very good. But the cars will fall in when they drive off' Me 'no they won't, it's not real, it's painted on the road to look like a hole in the road' Small boy 'Oh, I see. Why?' Me 'because he likes painting things that give us a surprise' Small boy 'Oh. So why is the river on the road?' I give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 absolutely brilliant that has to be hard going on your back bending over like he is though... If he works like Julian Beever, then he has a sort of lean on chair that he flings himself over. To see one of these is going on my Bucket List Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
