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!

HOLY CRAP THEY HAVE A LOT OF TIME ON THERE HANDS!
kooooooooool
holy crap is right, how the heck did he do that?!!
On the last one, is Tony Blair real?
SOOOO NICE! But the seal one looks as if the coke seems deflated.
But the last one rocks! VERY REAL!
After seeing this I feel like living on the pavement with the people who made these incredible paintings
Congrats
The entire site is incredible – and thank goodness there are people who create such wonderful things and there are people who can bring these to all the world
Thank you very very much
Deepak
absoloutley incredible i would love to be that talented! :)
The last one is John Major and Paddy Ashdown falling down a hole, overlooked by Tony Blair. You say it might be tough to tell, but 2 minutes research, and any knowledge outside your own country would make it clear. If you don’t know, don’t just make bad guesses.
thats a lot a perspective
man, these things look real!
these kick butt!!! MG, its almost as if you can take hold of them.
those are sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! those are good artists. okay peace!
If I was there, I would walk around the last one!

I am trying to track down the owner of these photographs, specifically the photographer of the SEAL drawing. I would love to use within a national magazine. Or, does anyone know who the artist is???
The Artists Name Is Julian Beever and his website is first if you google for him…
if possible include my website in your magazine :)

i think your art work is awsome.
it seems like if you walked on top of the well you would fall.
p.s. your chalk work is awsome.
Those are truley amazing!!!!
i think its truly amzing how they do this
That’s art! Real art is a work that few can do well but many can enjoy.
how do u even comprehend what to draw and where to draw it and how to draw it, thats just crazy, my favorite is the puddle and the drain. AAAHHHH its too crazy
i even thoght that the hose reel thing and the hose, in the puddle and drain drawing, was real ahhhhh crazy
The impermanence and effervacent quality of the work makes it that much more special.When the rains come it will all be washed away. Nothing lasts forever hence the beauty is in the moment..
this man is a VanGough with chack painting
I have so seen all of these!
These look soo real. It looks like i will actually fall into the well one.I wish i could draw those!
i like the last one the one where the people in the hole that takes true talent!
