Just wondering if there are any other fans of his work on these boards.

Is he the artist that does those pieces on the ground that look like they're real objects when you walk toward them (don't know if I explained that well)?

If so, that guy's got talent.

No. He does graffiti art, but he actually has a message in it and isn't just writing his name or "wuz here".

I've been a big fan of his stuff. I really loved the museum pieces he was able to sneak in.

No, you misunderstand me. They guy I'm thinking of does a huge piece on the ground and when you look at it, it looks like its actually there, not just a a drawing, but a real, physical object that you can walk up to and touch. I'm trying to find some pics of his work, but it's hard since I don't have a clue who he is.

EDIT: His name's Julian Beaver--some pics.

This is the globe from side view:

Banksy does some pretty cool shit too...

There's a couple guys that do that street stuff with chalks. Kurt Wenner is another one(click gallery then street paintings etc). Bit more artsy.

The little girl floating away with balloons shadow one is awesome. Dunno why I like it more than the others, which are also really good, just something about it.
