“A City Becomes a Work of Art”. Julian's preliminary sketches depicted an urban theme with a skyscraper. However, the FestivALL committee suggested a drawing more in tone with the state.

Typically his creations take about 24 hours of work to complete. Julian started his latest work at about 11am on Monday 18 June and he finished it up about 6pm on Thursday the 21st. Rick Lee was on hand for the final hours and has allowed us the honor of showing his photos here.
The following photographs were all taken by commercial photographer Rick Lee. To start with here is one of Julian Beever putting the finishing touches on this excellent work of art.

Being the only professional photographer left when Julian was finished Rick got to push the button on Julian's camera and get the artist trying out his latest creation.

This type of art is anamorphosis, which means the image appears distorted unless it is viewed from a special angle or with a special instrument. Below is a view of the finished artwork from the back angle. Our cute little raft is now very odd and the little ledges at the edge of the pavement are now huge.
