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!
These were just to awesome!!! Really enjoyed seeing them.
Super impressive..the last one is freaky
what is the artists name??
Those are so AWSOME!!!!!
The last one is so realistic. It would be creepy if you weren’t expecting it.
wow
unreal…truley amazing
complimenti!!
bayan!
I love these sidewalk art pictures! As a google fanatic, I felt it my responsibility to find more! So here & here & here & here
whow thats mondo groovey dude! awesome!
julian beever
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!
A M A Z I N G
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 :)
sincerely,
Vurdlak
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!

It’s so great, but some illusions are not realistic.
If they put more effort on it, it would be a great
illusions. But everybody will surprise!!:p

I’ve seen some other chalk drawings in person! During the Omaha Art Festival, they have someone come and do them every year. They’re so cool!
Jue……….Excellent work….

I SAY. THIS IS BANGABLE. =]
The sidewalk drawings are really works of art.WHOA
Love the hosepipe one. In my eyes, these are great examples of what modern art is all about. Mind you, I suppose most of the wonderful stuff on this website is.

these were really amazing to look at
thess were amazing. its hard to believe that all of this was drawn
Me and my sister think these are sooo cool! Keep up the good work!
Impressive art, but weirder is the long comment list.
Why do people feel compelled to leave an 88th comment to the effect of “neat – well done”
Particularly when the artists don’t see the comments, but rather some guy who posted them does.
We’ve created a strange place in the web.
Fantastic!!!
Unbelievable!!!
Such a paintings from chalks?
I’m shocked by the fascinating artwork.
Best luck to artists.
that was pretty sweet
i can’t help but sit here at work ‘
and get lost in the pictures !
=]
beautiful ! !
I’m doing exactly the same as yo mom… This blog is amazing… and this painting… I just hope can see one of this “face2face” someday…
truly impressing
omg, these are truly amazing! i hope u do more in the future and post them, beccause i cant wait to see more!!! WOW!
The last one is a drawing of people falling into the hole
those are some kool drawings!!!!
the last one is perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
These were just to awesome!!! Really enjoyed seeing them.
They’re all so awesome! My grandpa has a Vaio, heh.
reali cool, luv the last 1 ha it looks like their fallin down a hole!
he is a modern day Van Gough, my favorite one is all of them, i am your loyal fan.
We’d all be happy if Bush fell into a hole to drown…
Anyway, AWESOME work!
Amazing stuff! I reckon it’s Charles Kennedy and John Major (the 2 guys Blair beat to become Prime Minister in 1997) falling down the hole. It would be great to have a Blair/Bush hole, though!
Amazing. Really impressive. These all look real. Wow!
hey these are really cool but dont you think the “chalk fixative” is fly spray????
wow, they all look so real and cool! Espessially the last pic., it’s really realistic! Two thumbs up!
This is the most awesome art work I have ever seen. AMAZING!!!!!
That sht is DOPE!!!!
Hmm…not half bad. Though, I must admit, I can do better than some of these guys. What am I saying? I HAVE done better than some of them. Though, each time I get done my best ones, it rains. Must be bad karma…
oh man are these are real!
they just freak me out,how an
artist can creat such a wonderful work.
i just want to salute this man.
really unbelievable work
you have to see the last one in a perspective so that (the guy self portrait- it is painted in halves. part on the fountain, and part on the ground) to see the illusion. It is like the one where the ripples are paintes on a building.
Really amazing!!
literally i never seen such a wonderful illusions… i wish to b artist one of them
The creativity is too good
Great Work…….
This is awesome! I sent this site an idea for a post and he actually posted it! This site rocks! And it kills down time at work!
As a graphic designer I run across a lot of this stuff. I found this guy a few years ago and always remember him every time I see an optical illusion.
Good stuff, glad you guys like it!
DAMN! thats fricken kool!
WOW!! this is scetchy
this would be an amazing way to ask someone somthing lmao
you should come to Ontario and draw one of these
your idels
robby and emmy
robby emmy out!
I’M A HUGE fan of him, my mom knows he is the best opticial illusion painters ever!!!

Ben Glenn is an awesome artist…negative comments are from those who aren’t kind, nor do they know talent…His is definitely given to him from God..May he continue his ministry…Way to go Ben…God Bless you. Jean

that is totlally cool. i wont it
What’s with his place on a last pic?
how does he make the top of the the laptop appear to rise and the pool sink?
Lol, the last one was kinda funny, they’re like screaming for help, and that dude is just smiling lol.
AWSOME…hey that looks like my laptop >.<
hahaha cool but they probably look bad from the wrong angle…
OMG ALL OF IT IS HELLA GOOD! That sure bets my stick figure chalk drawings.. =p
i love drawings on sidewalks like this 1 cuz it makes everyone whose not paying attention want 2 naturally go around it (which makes me laugh) but then when some stands in the middle everyone notices the drawing & how well done it is p.s. i became i fan in 5th grade cuz my art teacher showed some pics & EVERYONE was awe struck
I like them all, but the fly is just AWSOME !!!
I think these are amazing at there work.
I think these artists are amazing at there work.
That is AMAZING! It wouldn’t look so good if you were at the wrong perspective.
AMAZING CHALK ART!
incredible……. wow
These are extraordinary – I never get tired of looking at them – I would love to see them being drawn – I have always seen the finished work of art – in my opinion – this is the most incredible art form out! I wouldn’t know where to start and I am fairly creative! Congratulations to all the artists – keep up this Divine occupation!
Do you know what site I can go on to find out how I can draw these ground illusions? I really want to find out how to draw them! Please reply back to me! Thanks
how did they do that
spend way to much of their lives painting
oml who is the guy crouching and smiling in the last picture he is terrifying
