Summary: Julian Beever, a master chalk artists, has delighted audiences in Europe, London and North America with his stunning three-dimensional anamorphic drawings. Anamorphic drawings are drawn in perspective and distorted so that the subject can only be viewed properly from one particular angle, and most convincingly through a camera lens. These drawings have delighted viewers foryears because they appear so realistically three-dimensional when seen through a camera lens. When the artist poses with the art, he appears to step right into the scene. Pavement Chalk Artist includes a fabulous selection of Beever's most intriguing anamorphic drawings. The photographs record the development of his unusual skill and understanding of perspective. Each one is accompanied by a description of the techniques he used and the challenges he overcame to produce original, inventive subjects in locations worldwide. This new edition includes 16 new pages of Beever's recent art, in addition to the 16 added to the second edition, for a total of 32 new pages.

Language: English 

Carlton, Victoria: Lonely Planet Global Limited, 2017.

223 pages : chiefly illustrations (colour) ; 21 cm. 

ISBN: 9781786577573, 1786577577 

Summary: Discover the street art scene in London, Melbourne, San Francisco and 39 other cities around the world through vivid photography. From Banksy's stencils and Invader's mosaics to amazing murals, this insider's guide provides practical details and maps of where to find secret stashes of street art, and introduces key artists, festivals and locations. Street art is now present in almost every city, town and village in the world, from Aachen to Zwolle. Its true audience is measured in the billions. And given that the first record of homo sapiens painting on walls is thought to date back around 40,000 years, it's surprising that street art has taken so long to flourish. Today, the proliferation of legal walls and organised festivals around the world makes it possible to encounter thought-provoking, transformative art in the most unexpected of places.

Summary: Urban subcultures have joined together to become something larger, more powerful, and more pervasive than ever before. Our new global urban culture, street culture at its broadest, is its force. The more than 1,000 photographs featured here together form a journey, a record, and an inspiration. The world's streets are its most vibrant sites of visual creativity, and amid their crush are photographers, documenting, creating, and collectively bringing this book to you. Their stories are the stories of the interconnectedness of global street culture. Travel and exploration are near the essence of street cultures, and the travelers who have used their passions to cross the boundaries of nations are at the heart of the process of cultural exchange.--[from publisher's description]
