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.

it's great artwork! I've recently seen some other as well. I'll see if I can find it.


impressive, they look completely three-dimensional and so complex. very cool.


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!


hey cool pics! hey can u tell me where u got the pics? or if u took them urself, can u tell me where'd u took those? thanks!


They're from the artist's own website at www.kurtwenner.com :)


I just have one question. What if it rains?


umm.. P A N I C !!!


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...


K. Wenner: Absolute genius.


exactly.. the Michelangelo of our time.
