then you may skip this page.
If Justin Beiber is more important to you than Julian Beever
then I wish you a skippy adios!

of artistic illusion.
In this image,
twelve people appear
to be viewing
a fishing hole...
But the truth is...
They are looking at
what Mr. Beever created
with colored chalk
on a flat public space.
What would Godfather Escher
say to Godson Beever?
Keep on carving that extra dimension into flatland, Son.
You make chalk into something better than chocolate.
What would the Godson
say to the Godfather?
Thank you, Dad

ReplyDeleteDo not walk on the plaza
ReplyDeleteUnless you sing a stanza
And do a little dansa
While you clap your hands-a
Mr. Beever should hire you...for his next Chalk Art Event...
DeleteAll he'd have to give you is a bullhorn.
If he doesn't hire you, I will...
if and only if my graditude is sufficient payment
My price is high. And…
DeleteThe flat surface is not to be entered Alice-like,
But surrounded like the swirling vortex
That it is
But to jump into the middle of the "fishing hole"
ReplyDeleteleads to painful safety and not adventure.
