Julian Beever's pavement chalk art...
Julian uses the "trompe-l'oeil" style, the 2-D illusion of three dimensions when viewed from the correct angle...

The amazing fantasy artist Frank Frazetta has died...
Frank Frazetta dead from a stroke at age 82. Frazetta (pictured above) created covers and illustrations for more than 150 books and comic books, along with album covers, movie posters and original paintings. His illustrations of Conan the Barbarian, Tarzan, John Carter of Mars, Vampirella and other characters influenced many later artists. And although he drew and painted many voluptious and sexy fantasy women, I would say he was one of the few artists who equaly painted his men with raw sexualuality and power. Skimpy loin cloths or nothing at all yet, in control and with barbaric power...
...I first became familiar with Frazetta through his animated film "Fire and Ice" (above) which took the best elements from his most famous works and created a film around them. The same combination of beauty and danger traslated very well from his paintings to a animation. It's out on dvd if you want to see for yourself...
...his John Carter of Mars art is amazing as well. There are hundreds of examples of his work out there, too many to show here. But his art and work will live forever.
