Illusionary Art

These are not mine... not by a long shot. But I've always enjoyed seeing these types of Art, the ones that make you second guess reality. I know everyone has seen the street chalk artist, cant think of his name right now. So does GF have any artists capable of pulling things like this off?





if so, I'd love to see some of your work!

The real neat ones are when you get the different aspects of the pictures! Theres one he did of the Earth, when you get the side view of the pic the actual drawing is like 60 feet long! But when you look at it from the perspective he drew it, the Earth looks perfectly Circular!
