Welcome to the Mudcat, IFS and congratulations on your upcoming "tying the knot!"

Beever's stuff IS incredible. Someone emailed me a link last year and I was amazed. What he does is just fantastic!

Thanks,

kat

Pretty neat stuff. Here's a link to a guy, Eric Grohe, who does to walls what this Beever dude does to sidewalks.

I used to love watching the pastel sidewalk artists in Harvard Square do this kind of art.

Kurt Wenner is the original artist who revived street painting in the early 1980s in Italy and invented the amazing perspective (called anamorphic perspective) that has since become ubiquitous to street art. He did an installation for the Disney World in Tokyo (Disney Seas), did a street painting for an Absolut Vodka ad, and a National Geographic Special featured his work on the streets of Italy and Switzerland. You can see his art at:
