This is the great Julian Beever; and his artwork makes me smile. It's hard to believe that this is really a 2-dimensional piece made on the side walk (the stairs are real) with pastels. Yes, he is really standing on an ordinary sidewalk outside of some building! Most of his 3-D pieces can only be viewed from one angle to get the proper perspective.
Notice the guy on the left stepping around this next piece?
Okay, it gets tricky now. That's REALLY Julian on top of the bottle. Think about it... look real close...

I have seen some of his work, it is just amazing. Very cool post
If you think about it, it really is a lesson in perspective. Everyone sees and hears things from a different one and some things are not exactly as they appear...
I dig this guy too ..
Here are some more of his pics ..

I remember seeing this guy's work too! Amazing stuff. Love it! Perspective....its all the way you look at things. He really makes you think though.
there is some reeeeaaaally cool ones. you know what is kinda weird? one of my teachers brought in some pics like that a few days ago and as I was reading your post I was wondering if you knew that she did that and then I was like how would he know? but there is one where he painted an earth on the sidewalk and they showed a picture of it from the side and it was 40 feet long! it was crazy! anyway, cool post!

This guy is awesome. I remember seeing something in a magazine about his work. He's got a homepage at:
