Sidewalk Chalk Art: Julian Beever

2354

Remember when you were a wee lil’ kid? You used to get these magical sticks of colour that you could use to vandalize your school yard… nah, just jokes, we definitely didn’t vandalize (didn’t, as well as don’t, juuust to clear that up). Anyway, there are some amazing artists out there who have taken it to the next level… one in particular, is Julian Beever.

Since the mid 90s, Julian Beever has been all up on the business of sidewalk chalk art. Wikipedia tells me he is a freelance artist who also creates murals for companies and has worked in 15 countries or so! Some of his works of art are shown below:

Coca-Cola

Batman

Rescue

Each piece takes around a week to complete, and only last until the first hard rainfall. To me, that seems like an awful amount of work for something that won’t stick around for long… therefore I seriously admire Beever’s passion. =]

Baby

Baby from the Wrong Angle

White Water Rafting
