wow! truely magnificent job n’ wonderful talent .like the other guy just its really waste of spending such a huge sum of money on sotheby’s art when they don’t really bother about the talent like julien who’s on the street who’s talents are being wasted…its really sad thing
Wow what a true artist!!!
oil or chalk?
utterly amazing. trippy as fuck. but he is one of the best artists. i’m still in shock
his art relies on a gimmick (the illusion of a third dimension), but he doesnt really seem to explore concepts and ideas at all.
i don’t know why they videoed from the perspective of the pictures we’ve already seen… most people don’t understand that you can only see the image from that one position. they should show it from all angles to show that it’s not just a simple picture. he has to draw the image in a distorted way which takes imagination… it’s freaky to see it in another view. his work is cool…
Awesome work! Too bad it’s not waterproof… :0/
@kyttin1985 hahaha it’s ok you’re not alone I thought the same thing for a second
i want to be like you i alweady made one but not that good
This video begs the question, can anyone please ID this gem of a song??
wow awsome
there was also one point where he set the chair(?) over the edge of the pool he was drawing and i almost forgot that he was drawing that pool, and for half a second thought “How didn’t he fall in?” thankfully that blond moment passed, the art is brilliant
it seems such a shame that the beautiful artwork is going to disappear the next time it rains. but at least they made this video to show how it was done and the finished product. it’s also amazing how he takes the time to put all that detail into it. i can’t draw much more than a sketch of a stick figure in chalk and have it come out halfway decent. impressive… very impressive art
Awesome! It is amazing! What a talent he has!
Wow!!! I gave you a 5 Star because your Art is Incredibly Awesome. I’ve seen your work before and I’m blown away by it every time. Thanks! ~Andree’
This is amazing!!! I love it!
To me, this man is a genius
What if it rains?
lol, you would say that… not very impressive.
Personal attacks aren’t an argument.
ThankU. We appreciate his talent and the fact Aveeno was involved. I use Aveeno. He wasn’t doing a cigarette commercial, after all. Don’t B embarassed in the least. What U R doing is fantastic.
That’s how he gets PAID!!!
Yes, it is nice 2 look at but what about seeing eye dogs? Do you think it confuses them and can cause stress for the blind person having the dog lead???
Let’s see something you’ve done that’s more impressive… Oh wait, you’re just a negative-nancy. Jerk.
yeah, but it looks fuckin cool.
