Julian Beever.............What A Talent?!?!

Julian Beever is a British chalk artist who has been creating trompe-l'œil chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. His work is a "grand illusion" that leaves a lasting impression!!

You will hopefully see how his work is successfully constructed from the following pictures..............

   Back Off, Creep

In order to create the illusion it was necessary for the artist to draw parts of the snail on the shiny bench, paper had to be cut out and stuck in place on top of and on the side of the bench. Further back, a standing steel pillar in the street was incorporated to make one of the snail's horns.

   As I have mentioned, Julian Beever is an incredible talent.
