Trompe-l'œil

Trompe-l'œil, french for 'trick of the eye' involves art that appears real through optical trickery!
I recently found some images of chalk-art trompe-l'œil, in particular those by the artist Julian Beever.



There are lots more on his site. Some need double takes to realise they're not photoshopped, and in a world where everyone can bloody photoshop pictures like this, people who can still manage this trompe-l'œil effect by hand should be celebrated!
