Some eye candy for all lovers of art.

I was playing around with a feature on Firefox called, "Stumble Upon" and I came up with this.

I always enjoy looking at the sidewalk art like this. Really a mastery of perspective.

Thank you for sharing these! I love the one of Posiedon, Pan, and (I think) Artemis.

The Chalk Guy

His name is Julian and he does a lot of street art in Europe. I've only met him once but I've seen his stuff at least a dozen times. A friend said he was in NYC last year. He always draws a crowd and leaves with a lot of coin.

Are his works as delightful in person as they are on film? I assume the angle of the camera helps the illusion, so I am curious if it is as popping as it seems in the photos or if it is more flat in real life.

So cool, thanks.

You're welcome.

The 3-D effect is quite amazing, especially when real 3-D people are included in the photo.

Amazing Trompe l'Oeil, especially with gentleman getting into the pool and the one where he meets his doppleganger. He is very talented. Thanks for posting these.

LH, they are marvelous and they do pop in person but I think that viewing the works on film serves to enhance, just a bit, as it allows one to disassociate from the reality of the venue. Every town should have a Chalk Guy.

Holy cow! That's amazing...I'm getting dizzy just looking at those pictures. Thanks for the posting!:eusa_clap

Bunch of liberal graffiti artists vandalizing taxpayer-financed streets! Where are their Golden Era values??

Those are amazing! Especially the variations of the DIES IRAE motif.
Had the opportunity to see quite a few pieces of street art during a recent art festival near my university; quite nice, but nothing compared to these...hell, I´d be sure to avoid stepping on the painting, not to fall into it - trompe l´oeil at its finest.

Regards, A.

Very cool. I love the way he used the wall to add to the illusion.
