This is a fascinating item. When I received an an email with pictures of Beever's sidewalk work about six months ago, I told the sender that these were obvious fakes: that the perspective on them was so deep that the artist would have had to project the distorted images dozens of feet out onto the sidewalk, that you could have only 'seen' them correctly from one vantage point, etc. Wow - I stand corrected!

All I can say, is that these drawings are amazing! I am impressed and delighted to have had someone pass them on to me.
