You Might Wanna Know...

- I feel most comfortable with a set of drawing pencils and a blank sheet of paper, but am always willing to try new things. Woodworking is my second love, it's just very hard to find time to do these things in the college life. I will post paintings and some clay pieces as well, but not with as much enthusiasm as sketches.

Matt...I really have to thank you for bringing this artwork to our attention. Julian Beever's artwork, in particular, is a very impressive display of the art of creating a 3-dimensional illusion in a 2-dimensional space. Granted, any of these sidewalk paintings can take on a seriously distorted appearance from any other angle, such as the incredibly long leg of that swimming girl from the opposite angle...but when looked at from the intended angle, even I have trouble keeping in mind that it's only an illusion. In the "3D Sidewalk Art" post, for example, it took me several seconds to realize that I wasn't looking at a 3-D cartoon rendering of Batman and Robin climbing a "burning building"...but a perfectly executed 2-D rendering that only looked like a building had been inserted underneath the sidewalk, if that makes sense.
On another note, in the "Etch a Sketch Art" post...I also never would have guessed you could make anything worth looking at on the old Etch-A-Sketch drawing toy. Clearly, however, with enough time and practice...anything is possible on any medium, even an Etch-A-Sketch. Again, Matt...thank you for putting this blog together. These works of art are very fascinating to look at.
