Incredible 3D Sidewalk Art…

Working primarily with chalk, Julian Beever produces some of the most incredible artwork we’ve come across in a while. Using a technique known as anamorphosis, Mr. Beever’s sidewalk art, when viewed from the proper perspective, appears to have depth: holes appear in sidewalks, bottles protrude out from the street and waterfalls seem to descend down through the sidewalk surface.

What makes Mr. Beever’s sidewalk art so fascinating is that they are all, in fact, flat, two dimensional drawings. If viewed from other than the intended viewing angle, the drawings don’t make much sense (see the reverse angle of the lady in the small pool and note how her leg stretches all the way down the street).

It’s hard to wrap one’s mind around Mr. Beever’s work when first seen, and it’s even harder to put into words, so without further ado, here’s a sampling of Julian Beever’s work…

Remember, this is actually a FLAT image...

That water coming out of the hose? It's flat also...

Note the pedestrian trying to avoid the "hole"...

Here's the lady in the pool from the correct perspective...

...and here it is from the other end of the sidewalk. Look at it from this angle and you start to get a sense of how he does it...

We like this one the best...

...with this one a close second...
