Unbelievable Chalk Drawings ..

Again another e-mail ..

These unbelievable photos are chalk drawings done by Julian Beever and Kurt Wenner.

Both Julian and Kurt have different styles to create an amazing 3D illusion.

Scroll down slowly and stop at each new frame.

Julian Beever is an English artist who’s famous for his art on the pavement of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium.

Most of his artwork it is impossible to tell what is real from what’s an illusion. Very cool stuff.

This drawing in Amsterdam is thought to be the first anamorphic still-life ever to be drawn on a pavement. The real-life arrangement was set up in situ.

You’ll notice that Kurt’s artwork has a much more classical flavor to it than Julian’s.

That being said, both artists are incredibly talented. You can also refer to the hub Awesome Kurt Wenner
