Thirteen of my favorite sidewalk chalk drawings

I have been fascinated by artist Julian Beever since the first sidewalk chalk drawing I saw in an email. He's a 3D chalk artist from England, and in case you aren't familiar with his work, I thought I'd share some of his newer work, along with some of my favorites. Here they are, in no particular order:

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

7.

8.

9.

10.

11.

I like the lobster and the baby. So funny.

I like your template like it is. :) I bet you can just modify when you move to WP. I love so many of the WP features, but my favorite Blogger features is the TEXT stuff. In WP, there aren't any buttons that I have seen for changing text color, size, font. I love how easy Blogger is to use.

However, I absolutely love the clean design of WP, the comment relish, the neat widgets, etc. They really have a great product!

I just can't figure out how to design them. I'm a OLD-timer with a beloved classic blogger template.

Those are kind of cool and freaky all at the same time. I wish I had a tiny little speck of the artistic talent it takes to create those.

I really love Beever's work! I like to see the pics from a different angle, too. They're so weird if you aren't in the right spot. Great post!

Oh, I forgot to say how much I like your header! I just love the quote. I'm going to use it with some of my more pessimistic friends. ^_^

That is so wild! The lobster one sort of freaked me out, though. :) He is amazingly talented.

I have always been fascinated by these sidewalk drawings. I hadn't seen the Santa one. That is so fun!! Thanks for sharing.

How amazing! Some people are so stinking talented!

I can eat an entire pound of bubble gum in a day. Less than a day, really, but nobody seems to care about documenting it.

sorry for the burp.

My talent doesn't seem to extend to the skill of posting.

I, too, have always been amazed at his paintings.

Did you see the pictures that are at the "wrong" angle? It's amazing how he has to draw things to make them look 3D.
