eye-foolery




Roger von Oech has had a series of posts: here, here, and here, showing the work of the English, Belgium-based artist Julian Beever. Beever is a master of trompe l'oeil (visual deception in painting).

Beever's chalked street paintings use the technique anamorphosis. (Anamorphic illusions are drawn in a special distortion in order to create an impression of three dimensions when seen from one particular viewpoint.)

Here is Julian's site; check him out. Lots o'fun!

Thanks for highlighting Julian, Roger.
