Every now and then we post amazing set of 3D sidewalk paintings done usually by chalk artist Julian Beever. These things never get old, and always manage to fascinate. I collected dozen of photos never before seen on this site, and integrated them in this article. All look amazing to me, but I liked the “World” one the best. Is it your favorite too? If I missed any of his creations, be sure to notify me, but before you do this, check if I already posted them to the “3D Sidewalk Art” category. Another thing I noticed, is that this particular artist always poses next to his creations (when finished) in a very original way! Stay fresh my friends, and if you liked this article please share it on the net!

these drawings are absolutely phenomenal. this guy has amazing talent!! can someone tell me where they are? i noticed one of them was of a subway station in manhattan, the union square one. i live in new york city and would love to see them in real life–is that where they are? once again you have provided fantastic illusions!!
my fave was the fifth… it really looks like the girl is in mid-air. its amazing how you have to draw them really streched out and take the piicture at a certain angle.
YAY FIRST!!!
Wow! These are really great! I thought the robot one was the best. Cool. Keep up the updates.

Absolutely amazing. Best images on this site so far. Thank you for the pleasure.

omfg these are great. These make leanardo da vinchi look like an ametuer
i was there to see the 3rd one!!!!!!!
those are amazing!!! i bet he’d get mad if it started raining right before he finished…
I’ve seen sidewalk paintings in Bellingham and Port Townsend, these however, take the cake. I love illusions of space–crawling out of a hole for instance. As an artist myself, I wonder how it is to spend so much time and then have the elements take it away. Perhaps it’s like the monks making those intricate sand–or is is colored rice–paintings. Bravo!

the mountain dew one is horrible
Oh wow the artist is so talented,
i wonder how long this must have taken to draw?
This man, Great!
this man so great!
Great!!!
this is super cl i wonder if i can do this too maybe my art teacher can!!!hi guys now bye bye!!
Takes a certain type of mind to be able to visualise something so accurate, whilst having to draw a completely different image on the floor!
Mr. Beaver you are f**king amazing!!!!
they’re amazing!
Cool
these were painted by chalks? so after rain all will be gone? Is it that’s why many can’t locate the painting ??
These are absolutely AMAZING! I can’t get over how cool these are!
Great Job!
These chalk drawings are very nice, but they only last as long as weather and pedestrian permit. and he creates these illusions by looking through the scope of his camera after every line he makes to create the optical illusion.
Thats so nice i love something like that i hope something like that come in Germany too.
;)))))))))))))))))))));););)
I LOVE HIM!!
I LOVE IT!!!!! HIS ART IS F***ING INCREDIBLE!!
I have many more photos to send you, but need your direct e-mail address.
This art is worth funding by the goverment. It is pleasant to look at and does not offend anybody.Thanks.
v.good *****
Excellent
Man! I don’t know how you can do the works you do, but I find them amazing. The depth you put into each one, it looks like you could just step off into picture. Cool
I would pay for a huge sinkhole to be painted in the middle of my asphalt driveway. BUT, in real paint that would be permanent. The number of vehicles that use it for turnarounds are ruining it early, and I can’t afford replacement.
I LIKE THE TRANSFORMERS ONE!!!
man, i like the transformer, and the lady in the pool :D
… and the first one is sweet too!
… ok, they all rock the house! :D
yo this sso sick
yo this is awesome! i want to learn to do it!
wow he’s great..i have some of his works on my phone and everytime i look at it,i feel inspired. i want to learn how to do it.
How do we know where to find him?
the one with the US flag it’s incredible!!! look at the bottom of it! he did make somehow some ondulations in there!!
