Julian Beever is an artist who does very elaborate sidewalk drawings. He's an English artist who has drawn on pavement in England, France, German, USA, Australia, and Belgium. His drawinsg are anamorphic illusions drawn in a way in which he distorts them to create a 3D illusion. He has a photograph taken of it at the exact angle that creates the illusion. I included a photograph of a photo taken at a different angle so you can get more of an idea. I didn't chose him as my artist but I was very intrigued by his work and thought others might enjoy it too.

This is some of the most creative artwork I've ever seen. The perspective and depth are incredible. I would love to hire some of these artist and turn them loose on some projects.

Haha! Yeah, this guy is absolutely amazing. The depth he makes us perceive is astounding and then to really see what it looks like is weird.
