That's because he creates not only nicely rendered <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/queen.htm">portraits</A> and <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/4selfportraits.htm">self-portraits</A>, but also "anamorphic illusions," <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/treasure5.html">distortedly</A> drawn to create an impression of three dimensions when seen from a particular point of view. His <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/pave.htm">pavement drawings</A> feature mostly commercial work, like ads for <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/Blair.htm"> television election coverage</A> in the UK and a <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/rembrandt.htm">particular brand</A> of pastels. The illusions, which range from the <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/arctic.htm">whimsical</A> to the truly <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/rescue.htm">disorienting</A>, work only when seen from one specific <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/swim.htm">perspective</A>; viewed from anywhere else, they look like the <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/wrongview.htm">work</A> of a lunatic art-school drop-out. But if you do happen to stroll by one of Beever's drawings at just the right angle, you might find yourself asking, "Is this the <A href="http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/coke.html">real thing</A>?" <SMALL>(in <A href="http://picks.yahoo.com/picks/Arts/Visual_Arts/Graffiti_and_Street_Art/">Graffiti and Street Art</A>)</SMALL></TD></tr></table></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/45328E40-A6BF-41DB-93AB-FB45A66CBE6B/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
