Julian Beever

Julian Beever, an English street artist, uses chalk to create what he calls "anamorphic illusions". To you and me, he makes a two-dimensional drawing seem three-dimensional through the magic of perspective. It only looks quite right from one angle, so these photographs are of chalk drawings that are bigger as they're further away from the camera, so as to make up for the horizon effect. It may seem fake, but believe me when I say that these are 100% legit:






















His website, with more drawings (including some from other angles) is here.
