Julian Beever
Beever's pavement drawings never fail to cause every passerby to have a second take. He has undoubtedly mastered the art of 3 dimensional chalk drawings, had anyone ever thought to think, but was there ever any competition? His fascinating chalk obsession gives depth to 2D pavements. Chalk drawing has never been taken so seriously. Perhaps the proper way to term his artistic expression is that it fits in a very difficult to emulate "trompe l'oeil" genre of art. I wonder if he has special waterproof chalk?
Perhaps if his designs inhabited the streets of our cities, tranforming our world into 4 dimensional deceptions. Let our Audi's and our Honda's carelessly drive over illusionary holes and babies and waterfalls. His artwork reminds me of back in my "chalk" days when we chalked in a full fledged animal Zoo in my backyard growing up.

"In the same spirit as those earlier collectors filling their cabinets of curiosities, I feel compelled to collect quite a variety of things. I draw artistic inspiration from the treasures I find at the flea market. I like old toys, books, photographs, anatomical models, stuffed animals, skeletons, religious statues, and vintage paper ephemera. It is interesting how, from the endless sea of stuff out there, certain things jump out. They evoke a feeling of mystery in me and I am powerfully driven toward them. It is an obsession. I collect, arrange, and display them. Pieces from my collection end up synthesized or juxtaposed in my paintings.
This visual debris from contemporary pop culture contains the specific archetypes that formed my consciousness while living in this particular period in history. I often find archetypes in old children’s books and toys, so these things make up a large part of my collection. I am attracted to things that evoke memories from childhood." - Mark Ryden

“My work is created in several stages, . . . the first being the idea and or inspiration which can come at any time at any place. When I'm purposefully trying to come up with something, I make many little thumbnail drawings and write little character descriptions or complete little short stories to accompany the concept of a piece before I even get to the painting,” - Travis Louie
In my opinion Travis Louie's disturbing family portraits perhaps remind us why we shouldn't fornicate with animals, aliens or demons. :)
