Anamorphic Pavement Chalk Artist
February 2, 2012 7:57 AM   Subscribe

Julian Beever is a UK based artist whose seemingly three dimensional street-chalk drawings have to be seen to be believed.

His pieces are often anamorphic illusions which are distorted in such a way as to seem three dimensional when viewed from a specific viewpoint.

Some highlights:

Meeting Mr Frog
Arctic Street Conditions with Soft Drink.
Pavement Picasso
Meeting Madame Butterfly
Explosion in Paris
That hemmed in feeling (The Dungeon)

Inexplicably, I get these in a chain email every couple of years or so. They are too cool. Good to find out who's behind them.

Nice! Coincidentally, the Guardian highlighted another artist today doing similar work. The whole photostream contains loads of examples, but this is my favourite.

How about "previously"? These never get old for me.

I saw a photo of one yesterday without explanation and thought it really was 3D but wasn't sure. So thanks for clearing that up for me.
