These were just so unbelievable I had to share.
Julian Beever is an English sidewalk artist also known as the sidewalk picasso. His creations look 3 dimensional and amazingly real.
Julian isn't the only one that creates amazing works of art. The buddist monks create mandalas out of sand and are even more fragile than the sidewalk paintings. The following mandala was worked on for 3 and a half weeks. At the end it is all swept up and sprinkled into a body of water to symbolize the transience of life and the ideal of nonattachment to the material world.
