Singaporean Tai-tais

Julian Beever calls himself a “pavement picasso” and he is truly a great artist and just as prolific.  His work continues to grow, although sadly, since its made of chalk, can only be preserved in pictures and youtube videos. Although there are other chalk artists who do phenomenal work like Kurt Wenner, Tracy Lee Stum, Lori Escalera, only Beever’s work truly looks 3D from a certain angle.

I’ve seen Wenner’s work in Shanghai and the only way you could see it “sort of” in 3D was when you looked through a lens.  That isn’t necessary for Beever’s work which really pop-out, but again, only from the right perspective.  If you’re looking at it from the wrong angle, it just looks like an elongated mess which is part of its charm!
