The Amazing Julian Beever

You have to see this artist's website: http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/

Julian Beever is a Belgium based street-artist who is doing these amazing chalk drawings on pavement. He has apparently been travelling through Europe creating these incredible temporary artworks since the mid 1990s.

You really have to look through his work, they are so realistic. He also does murals, but I think the chalk drawings have put him on the map.

You'll love these. This is the kind of email forward that is enjoyable to discover. Although, I have to admit, I delete most emails with FWD in the title without even looking at them. Sorry! I just can't take another Saint or old world curse seeking revenge upon me because I didn't forward the message to my 10 closest friends. Understandable, no?

Have a great day!

Jimmy.....i apologize for the cyber girl fight i have seemed to cause on your blog, even though RowA7 is enjoying it! This is like 2 bitches going at it on an episode of Jerry Springer. It is amazing to me that we have known each other for so long and all this originated by being inspired by you and your art. Keep it colorful. See you soon. Much Love! Once again my apologies.
