He has worked in the UK, Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Denmark, Spain, the U.S., Australia, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Russia and Portugal. Besides this pavement art, Beever also paints murals with acrylic paints and replicas of the works of masters and oil paintings, and creates collages. Among his other work are drawings, usually themed around music, whose size may measure up to 7 metres long by 8 metres high. A promotional chalk drawing from 2007. In 2010, Beever released his book Pavement Chalk Artist, which includes photographs of many of his works from around the world.
