This is some amazing stuff by a Belgian guy called Julian Beever. He draws in such a way that the art turns into an optical illusion, giving the impression of depth or height.         

They guy is mad talented but he's such a ****.

its so great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow !!!!!!!!!!!!

Nice stuff, where's he based?

he seems to do his stuff everywhere; UK, Europe and USA

Awesome!!!

It looks great, but why do I suspect the optical illusion works better in a photograph than if you're actually there on the pavement?

Reminds me a bit of Mary Poppins, though.

An artist who is either a **** or a head case?

Now, there's a novelty for you.

because given the nature of the illusion, it works best only from the ideal viewing angle. still requires some serious craft though.

Loburt and Zeus - yes it only works from one angle but such is the nature of illusion!!

Spectacular.......

what a talented guy....!!

What excellent work - he has a special gift for understanding 3D...I have seen this stuff before, but it never fails to amaze!

WOW. Laughing my head off at some of them.

I want two pints of what he's been drinking.

i would love to see a video on youtube of someone tripping over it thinking the illusion was real.
