Julian Beever is an artist whose pavement drawings have to be seen to be believed. He uses an anamorphic technique that makes the images appear three-dimensional when viewed from the proper angle.

  • Really nice. See also Kurt Wenner's work.
  • Previously. But it's nice to see the proper site.
  • This style of art is amazing. I marveled at Julian's art and the pieces from your link, Koant are truly phenomenal. Thanks both!
  • Cool! Thanks.
  • Way Cool! Very much appreciated!
  • Nice Beever!
  • Very cool, thanks for the post!
  • Very cool. Too bad he's using it to advertise.
  • I can't optically figure out that guy in the swim picture. He looks like he's stepping into the pool, and I can't figure out where his legs really are.
  • (Being for the benefit of Mr. K.) In the swim picture, I think he has his body turned more diagonally than what you first assume. I think his left leg is behind him and his right leg is stretched out in front of him. Almost like he's hanging five in a low crouch. One thing is to look at is the lines of the "tiles" on the side of the pool - if you follow the row of tiles from the one he has his left foot on "down" into the pool you would think that his right foot was behind his left foot, but then his right foot would appear smaller than the left one and instead it looks larger. Can you see it now?
  • Love his self portrait.
