Check out this chalk drawing illusion of a Sony Vaio Laptop computer. Looks like the top part of the screen is just jumping off the sidewalk! More Pictures Inside this article! All of these pictures were done by Julian Beever, so be sure to visit his website regullary for more of his wonderfull work!
It’s hard to believe there is no water on the sidewalk below! The hose, drain, puddle… everything is painted on the sidewalk by Julian!
Is that guy spraying chalk fixative onto that fly… or is it another Chalk Drawing Illusion? That’s pretty incredible, but I think you’ll find that some of the other artists captured the optical illusion even more realistic!
This could certainly be the best self portrait I have ever seen.Imagine how long it took the artist to figure out exactly how to do this in perspective. It would surely have been great to see this art exibit in person!
This is an amazing optical illusion picture of a woman swimming in the pool, sipping her coke. Check out the artist as he is just about to jump right into the painting! Yet another Magic Trick
Although the seal doesn’t look incredibly realistic, it sure looks like it is popping up out of the water handing the artist a fresh cola after days of hard work.
How would you like to be walking down the sidewalk and then suddenly fall into a hole like these guys? Take a little closer look at who has fallen into the hole. It’s tough to tell but it looks like George W. Bush and John Major, the former British Prime Minister have fallen into the hole…. and is that Tony Blair looking into the camera? Regardless, this sidewalk optical illusion is just downright incredible!

these were really amazing to look at
thess were amazing. its hard to believe that all of this was drawn
Me and my sister think these are sooo cool! Keep up the good work!
Impressive art, but weirder is the long comment list.
Why do people feel compelled to leave an 88th comment to the effect of “neat – well done”
Particularly when the artists don’t see the comments, but rather some guy who posted them does.
We’ve created a strange place in the web.
Fantastic!!!
Unbelievable!!!
Such a paintings from chalks?
I’m shocked by the fascinating artwork.
Best luck to artists.
that was pretty sweet
i can’t help but sit here at work ‘
and get lost in the pictures !
=]
beautiful ! !
I’m doing exactly the same as yo mom… This blog is amazing… and this painting… I just hope can see one of this “face2face” someday…
truly impressing
omg, these are truly amazing! i hope u do more in the future and post them, beccause i cant wait to see more!!! WOW!
The last one is a drawing of people falling into the hole
those are some kool drawings!!!!
the last one is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These were just to awesome!!! Really enjoyed seeing them.
They’re all so awesome! My grandpa has a Vaio, heh.
reali cool, luv the last 1 ha it looks like their fallin down a hole!
he is a modern day Van Gough, my favorite one is all of them, i am your loyal fan.
We’d all be happy if Bush fell into a hole to drown…
Anyway, AWESOME work!
Amazing stuff! I reckon it’s Charles Kennedy and John Major (the 2 guys Blair beat to become Prime Minister in 1997) falling down the hole. It would be great to have a Blair/Bush hole, though!
Amazing. Really impressive. These all look real. Wow!
hey these are really cool but dont you think the “chalk fixative” is fly spray????
wow, they all look so real and cool! Espessially the last pic., it’s really realistic! Two thumbs up!
This is the most awesome art work I have ever seen. AMAZING!!!!!
That sht is DOPE!!!!
Hmm…not half bad. Though, I must admit, I can do better than some of these guys. What am I saying? I HAVE done better than some of them. Though, each time I get done my best ones, it rains. Must be bad karma…
oh man are these are real!
they just freak me out,how an
artist can creat such a wonderful work.
i just want to salute this man.
really unbelievable work
you have to see the last one in a perspective so that (the guy self portrait- it is painted in halves. part on the fountain, and part on the ground) to see the illusion. It is like the one where the ripples are paintes on a building.
Really amazing!!
literally i never seen such a wonderful illusions… i wish to b artist one of them
The creativity is too good
Great Work…….
This is awesome! I sent this site an idea for a post and he actually posted it! This site rocks! And it kills down time at work!
As a graphic designer I run across a lot of this stuff. I found this guy a few years ago and always remember him every time I see an optical illusion.
Good stuff, glad you guys like it!
DAMN! thats fricken kool!
WOW!! this is scetchy
this would be an amazing way to ask someone somthing lmao

These are so crazy! i could never ever draw something like that! these people are so talented… can’t even describe how beutiful and unique they are either!
that is totlally cool. i wont it
What’s with his place on a last pic?
how does he make the top of the the laptop appear to rise and the pool sink?
Lol, the last one was kinda funny, they’re like screaming for help, and that dude is just smiling lol.
AWSOME…hey that looks like my laptop >.<
hahaha cool but they probably look bad from the wrong angle…
OMG ALL OF IT IS HELLA GOOD! That sure bets my stick figure chalk drawings.. =p
i love drawings on sidewalks like this 1 cuz it makes everyone whose not paying attention want 2 naturally go around it (which makes me laugh) but then when some stands in the middle everyone notices the drawing & how well done it is p.s. i became i fan in 5th grade cuz my art teacher showed some pics & EVERYONE was awe struck
I like them all, but the fly is just AWSOME !!!
