Some AMAZING artwork!!

Have you ever been walking along the road when all of a sudden you realize you are about to fall into a deep well that just appeared to you in the middle of the road?? You flail your arms in circles as you try to catch yourself but it is too late...you are definitely going to fall in and right behind 2 other unfortunate people. You let yourself go preparing for the long drop into the deep dark well when all of a sudden you hit pavement. As you look around you realize that you are not falling into a well at all. Instead, you are sitting in the middle of a very very realistic chalk drawing! If this has ever happened to you, than you have probably witnessed, first hand, one of Julian Beever's chalk drawings. 
Beever is an English chalk artist who has been creating creating trompe-l'œil  chalk drawings on pavement surfaces since the mid-1990s. His pieces are created using a projection called anamorphosis. This gives his drawings a cool 3D effect when viewed from the right angle.
Beever also works as a freelance artist and creates murals for companies.
