As some of you know, I adore the pavment art of Julian Beever & his fellow artists.

 

These piccys in the Mail blew me away today

[Egluntyne]

Amazing isn't it?

[Ecky]

This guy is absolutely fabulous. I've seen pictures before, but he is definitely getting much better. I can't even draw a smiley

[ClaireG]

Wow, they are amazing. Thanks for sharing

[BarbaraJ]

amazing, i'd love to see one in person

[Old Speckled Hen]

Wow

I've never heard of this guy, Cinnamon he's amazing

Talk about art for art's sake ... one shower and it's all gone ... or are they more permanent?

[kitbag]

that's amazing!! I showed my sister and she thought it was real !

[Seagazer]

Those pictures are fantastic, oh to have the talent.

[Chickvic]

That's so good

[Cinnamon]

I will post them here too, so no one misses them by not clicking the link

 

 

 

 

[Helly Welly]

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!!

[Minnie the Moocher]

Wow

 

I think it says acrylic paint was used, so water resistant when dry and will probably wear off with footfall and tyre wear.

[Ain't Nobody Here]

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 .

[Cooks]

absolutely brilliant that has to be hard going on your back bending over like he is though...

[Snowy]

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.

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
