Post a CommentJulian Beevers new book is called Pavement Chalk Artist: The Three-Dimensional Drawings of Julian Beever and includes a fabulous selection of Beever's most intriguing anamorphic drawings. Each photo is accompanied by a description of the techniques he used and the challenges he overcame. These photographs record the development of his unusual skill and understanding of perspective. Readers can see how his art progresses and matures as he takes on commissioned works and a wealth of original, inventive subjects in locations worldwide. The photographs tell the story, giving readers both an understanding of the principles of this 3-D art form and the pleasure of sharing the scenes that passersby once enjoyed before these unique works disappeared forever.

I can't believe the issues I am having with the publish template for AC. Sorry about the typos, the links at least are not broken in the article.
