Hey, I know this doesn't have anything to do with the Corrs, but I received an email with these pictures of the work of an amazing artist who uses pavement as his canvas. Julian Beever is an English artist who's famous for his art on the pavement of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium. Beever gives to his drawings an amazing 3D illusion. Here are some samples of his incredible work: People are actually avoiding walking in the hole.

Remember, both his feet in reality are flat on the pavement... Politicians meeting their end: This drawing of a Rescue was to be viewed using an inverting mirror: Girl on a beach mat:

I had seen several of them and I was already very impressed. But now seeing them again, and more this time, my jaw sdropped wider than it did last time. He is really, really gifted....

Oh my god, that´s fantastic. These drawings are wonderful, they seem soooo real. While watching them I always wanted to be there next to one of the drawings, because I couldn´t believe that they weren´t real. And I sometimes had to look twice to realize what´s going on there. It was like that with the Batman & Robin pic. I was really scared when I saw it first, but then I had a second look at it and realized that he´s standing on safe ground, haha.
