Julian Beever’s chalk optical illusion part 2

Uncategorized

Julian Beever is an English artist who’s famous for his art on the pavement of England, France, Germany, USA, Australia and Belgium. Beever gives to his drawings an amazing 3D illusion. These Trompe-l’oeil drawings are created using a projection called anamorphism and appear to defy the laws of perspective.

Here are some of the optical illusions I received on email, thought I share with you guys:

Rescuing someone on the streets.

Girl lying on the beach mat.

Rembrandts with Rembrandts.

I find these images really pretty. I don’t know if they can be considered optical illusions. Heck, it still looks great. I seen some of these stuff before. I must say, whoever drew it is really creative.

Autumn castle of leaves.

I just realised I posted the same link two times!

And worst still, I titled one of them illusion//cool (posted on January) and the other cool//illusion (posted on May). Oh man… I can’t even remember I once posted it before. Maybe I’m having an illusion.
