Julian Beever is a English chalk artist whose anamorphic trompe l'oeil pavement drawings are made to look three-dimensional when viewed from a certain angle. So, essentially, he's like Burt from Mary Poppins, except, unlike Dick Van Dyke's character, Beever's renderings only appear tactile. You can't jump into them and tap dance with penguins.

Whatevz. We'll follow Beever anywhere, especially because, as a performance artist, he plants himself in pictures of his own work, sometimes half-clothed.
