It looks like a clear-cut case of daylight robbery.

The bemused snowman stands there noseless while the little girl who  
has snatched his carrot beams broadly through a flurry of snowflakes.

Still, he can read all about it later in his Daily Mail.

Stunning: Julian Beever's winter artwork drawn with chalk on a  
Brussels street

This magical scene is the latest work of 'Pavement Picasso' Julian  
Beever, who creates 3D images with chalk.

The 49-year-old Briton, now based in Belgium, took two days to draw it  
on a shopping street in Brussels.

The girl holding the carrot is his two-year-old daughter Jane while  
the boy apparently pushing a giant snowball is his five-year-old  
nephew Louis Dutoit.


Beever said his greatest fear when drawing the scene was that it would  
actually snow.

'That would have washed away days of work and it was forecast at one  
point. On both days the temperature was down to zero.

'But I wanted to take Christmas to the heart of Europe and thought the  
Snowman could spread the message with his Daily Mail.
