May you always have work for your hands to do.
May your pockets hold always a coin or two.
May the sun shine bright on your windowpane.
May the rainbow be certain to follow each rain.
May the hand of a friend always be near you.
And may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.

Subject: Be Sure To Look At # 7
These are very interesting – be sure to take the time to observe # 7 as instructed -they are all amazing…
BUT #7 WILL BLOW YOUR MIND!
1)
Is This Possible?
2)
3)
Are the purple lines straight or bent?
4)
Do you see gray areas in between the squares?
5)
You should see a man’s face and also a word…
Hint: Try tilting your head to the right, the word begins with ‘L’
6)
If you take a look at the above picture, let me tell
you …. it is not animated. Your eyes are making it move. To test
this, stare at one spot for a couple seconds and everything will
stop moving. Or look at the black center of each circle and it will
stop moving. But move your eyes to the next black center and the
previous will move after you take your eyes away from it Weird ?

New sidewalk chalk art from Julian Beever–He is amazing!
Julian Beever is an English artist who is famous for his anamorphic art on the pavements of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium.
Beever gives an amazing illusion to his drawings, so that the objects appear to be three dimensional rather than flat as they actually are.
Work in progress
Work completed
Hard to believe that the little boy is standing flat on the pavement!
Julian admits that some people see his work as graffiti, and don’t feel it has a place on public streets. Happily, he says, he mostly receives a positive reaction and people like and enjoy his art.
Did you spot tiny Julian Beever on the Top of the Bottle?
The 3D aspect to his work came much later while he was working in Brussels, ‘I decided to get into 3D after seeing the effect of tiles being removed from the street, and later trying to recreate the sense of depth in a drawing.’
People avoid the hole.
Hosing down the street
Everything is fake, even the hose and water!
Rafting
Watch out!
Land Use
There is no hole in this pavement.
Politicians get sucked into a pit.
Who will save them?
‘Once I realized you could make things go down, I realized you could make them appear to go up and I began experimenting.’

Amazing!
Art for the people.
‘My art is for anybody, it’s for people who wouldn’t go into an art gallery.
It’s art for the people.’
‘Art shouldn’t be locked away in galleries and libraries and books. Art should be for everybody and not just art buffs, historians and so-called experts.’

Julian works in chalk, so his art, which takes up to 3 days to complete, is there only as long as the elements allow,
‘If it rains it means I’ve done a lot of hard work for nothing, but I usually manage to avoid that.’
Visit with Santa
The important thing for me is to get a photo of it at the end.
For me, I’m working towards building a photograph as my end result, and if I get that I’m happy.’
‘The secret is to set up a camera on a tripod and keep it in one spot and check every mark you make. It’s really just playing with perspective to make it appear different to what it really is.’

Recently, in large French city, a poster featuring a young, thin and tan woman appeared in the window of a gym.
It said:
THIS SUMMER DO YOU WANT TO BE A MERMAID OR A WHALE?
A middle aged woman, whose physical characteristics did not match those of the woman on the poster, responded publicly to the question posed by the gym.
To Whom It May Concern:
Whales are always surrounded by friends (dolphins, sea lions, curious humans). They have an active sex life, they get pregnant and have adorable baby whales. They have a wonderful time with dolphins stuffing themselves with shrimp. They play and swim in the seas, seeing wonderful places like Patagonia, the Barren Sea and the coral reefs of Polynesia. Whales are wonderful singers and have even recorded CDs.. They are incredible creatures and virtually have no predators other than humans. They are loved, protected and admired by almost everyone in the world.
Mermaids don’t exist. If they did exist, they would be lining up outside the offices of Argentinean psychoanalysts due to identity crisis. Fish or human? They don’t have a sex life because they kill men who get close to them not to mention how could they have sex? Therefore they don’t have kids either. Not to mention who wants to get close to a girl who smells like a fish store?
The choice is perfectly clear to me; I want to be a whale.
P.S. We are in an age when media puts into our heads the idea that only skinny people are beautiful, but I prefer to enjoy an ice cream with my kids, a good dinner with a man who makes me shiver and a coffee with my friends. With time we gain weight because we accumulate so much information and wisdom in our heads that when there is no more room it distributes out to the rest of our bodies. So we aren’t heavy, we are enormously cultured, educated and happy. Beginning today, when I look at my butt in the mirror I will think,Good gosh, look how smart I am……..
