Pavement artists still exist today. Sometimes they work the sidewalks for donations, kind of like a street musician. The same places in central London that Dickens mentions in 1862 are still in active use by pavement artists just trying to make a meager living.
And then there are street artists who make commissioned art on sidewalks, roads, parking lots, and other flat public places. Jeff Huntington is a DC-based mural artist who assembled a big team of volunteers to paint a portrait of Breonna Taylor and Black Lives Matter over two basketball courts in Annapolis, MD.
