Just came across these images online and though that they were very interesting. Have you ever come across an image on the ground and been completely captivated? Sidewalk art is amazing.The amount of work that goes into something that will only last a few days is astounding.
The really amazing aspect of this kind of sidewalk art is the way that the artist uses perspective to create an illusion of a third dimension. At certain angles the drawing almost look like it's an object in the real world. This form of trompe de l'oeil makes the viewer stop and try to figure out how this illusion was accomplished.
These drawings have also been used as a form of advertising. Coke, and Absolut Vodka have both used sidewalk art as a form of advertising to cause an interruption in the everyday lives of normal people.
For more really amazing images go to Anamorphic Sidewalk Painting.

Whoa!!!!nice job.this is good stuff...kudos!
I've always loved seeing this kind of stuff. Some of them are so intricate you can't imagine how they do it with chalk. It's neat watching people work on these things.
This guy is pretty intense. I have seen he stuff before, and it always amazes me that someone can bend your mind, and alter your perception to such a great extent.
