I was browsing TV channels and Stumbled upon Sky Arts Channel where I discovered a program Called Concrete Canvas.
The program was about the amazing Pavement artist Julian Beever who produces 3D drawings using his own self taught technics.
Julian Beever’s work is Amazing and I’ve enjoyed watching his program Concrete Canvas as he draws on pavements across the world.
I decided to paint a picture on my concrete paths that surround my home years ago, but I just haven’t got around to it yet 
I don’t think I will be able to produce anything as stunning as Julian Beevers work since I will have to use paint which is a hard and sometimes unforgiving medium to use, I also have a problem with perspective at the best of times, let alone trying out a technic that distortes perspective to such extremes.
I have seen the work of a pavement artist called Ra Kajol, he painted a picture in my home town during the SO Festival which took place in 2010 in Skegness
The art work by Ra Kajol which was featured on Tower Espalade in Skegness was colorful and a lot of people in the town wished it would have been a permanent feature. It added interest to the town and the tourists loved taking there picture on it, but alas the work by Ra Kajol was painted in washable paint and has now faded and is almost gone one month on from the SO Festival
I have to say both Julian Beever and Ra Kajol must have real self control and an easy going nature, since I don’t think I would be able to spend so much time producing a breath taking peace of art for it to be washed away either by the elements or deliberately
I think it’s a shame more art like Julian Beevers Work isn’t encouraged by councils here in the UK.
I think Julian Beever’s work is stunning and a lot of fun to look at. I wish I was one of the lucky few who gets to take a photograph or even be in one of Julian Beever’s photo’s of his fantastic pieces of Art.
I’ve added a couple of my own Art Quotes below, if you have any of you’re own feel free to comment below.
“Art is unappreciated by society, but without it the world would be void of beautiful interest.”
“The appreciation of Art has been consumed by the stupid and abandoned by the rational.”
“If Art strokes the ego of critics, then art has lost it’s true meaning to exist.”

Uptight Brits
This is Jeremy from America and I just wanted to say that I agree with you that its a shame that the UK doesn’t allow more artists like Julian to paint their artwork. Art is a way of letting others into ones soul, if you ask my opinion, and there shouldn’t be any rules about how a person decides to let his or her guiness run rampid.
Agree 100%
I couldn’t agree more art should be every where in all the colours of the rainbow all over the world, no matter how small a town is which in the UK can be small
Julian Beever has problems getting permission to do his pavement art all over the world.
In the TV program he got hassled constantly by police in one city. It wasn’t Britain, where not quite that bad
but it is frustrating to see a sea of grey nothing but rectangular buildings across any sky line.

Julian……..thank you for the most entertaining program. You are so classic and unique in your explanations. I agree with you when you were talking to a bystander in Germany and you mentioned that, how can you be so famous and not one person have an actual picture of your art work hanging on their wall.
I would love to have one of your creates on my wall. what someone needs to do is give you a large warehouse that is empty and let you have the entire floor as your canvas. If this would be possible your creations could be admired by the world. Not on T.V. Bur in person.
I feel as though you enjoy entertaining people with your wonderful talent but if an admission fee would be charged you could possibly donate some of the income to a charity for children. Children our the future of our world and maybe the funds from a project like this you could help discover a young artist that could continue your love for art. Who knows maybe they could discover that they might have a secret art form like you have given our beautiful world.
Thank you again for enlightening my evening.
