This is some amazing artwork. Barbs & Dave from NZ sent me a bunch of emails the other day which included some incredible pavement chark art, although there was no clue as to who the artist was. A quick search on Google revealed the artist. His name is Kurt Wenner and he has a website (www.kurtwenner.com) showcasing some of his work as well as his biography etc. I'm posting a few of the artworks here to for you to check out. Bear in mind that all these artworks are done with pastel chalks on a flat surface.
The first thing that came to my mind was woah, this is like Michelangelo without the ceilings. A truly gifted artist. Pictures published with the express written permission of Karen Schmidt for Kurt Wenner.

I got those pictures sent to me in an e-mail. I thought they were really pretty too. Absolutely amazing. Trying to make a flat 1D surface sport something in 3D is a challenge. At any rate, have a good one!

That is truly amazing. One has to be absolutely sure of what he/she is doing to work on that large a scale and get it so dead-on. Stunning...
