Street Art (literally)

I've been seeing Julian Beever's artwork around for a while now. He even has a show on television, called Concrete Canvas, that lets you watch his entire process. At the HOW conference, at least 3 speakers referenced his work... so I figured it was about time for a post.

Julian literally creates the most amazing street art using: pavement, chalk and a camera. It's all created to appear 3 dimensional, and it's truly stunning. He travels the world bringing art to the masses. It's so great to see him set up in a busy commercial area, while people run back and forth to work. As his work progresses, so does the joy that it brings. Suddenly, everyone is taking a moment out of their hectic schedule to enjoy the work Julian creates. And that is just what art should do.

His subjects cover almost anything, ranging from classic paintings, architectural wonders, to famous people and even daily objects. Here are just some of his pieces. Check out his website for more.
