Julian Beever is a chalk artist who has been creating chalk drawings on pavement since around 1995. He uses a technique called anamorphosis to make the illusion of three-dimensions when looked at from a certain angle. It is also possible to put a person in the image to look like they are interacting with the drawing.
Besides his chalk art, Beever also paints murals with acrylic paints and oil paints, and creates collages. Also, he enjoys drawings, usually based on music.
In 2010, Beever published a book called 'Pavement Chalk Artist', which includes photos of many of his art pieces from around the world.
He is often hired to create murals for companies. He has made his art in the Belgium, UK, The Netherlands, France, Austria, Germany, Denmark, Australia and the USA.
Ben, from the Internet, says "It takes a certain type of mind to be able to visualise something so accurate, while having to draw a completely different image on the floor. Julian Beever has that mind."
