This artist makes some incredible optical illusion art. On sidewalks. With chalk. Very cool.
Great slideshow:

Time lapse BTS; he looks through a DSLR as he draws to get the perspective right:

I only wish there were several photos of the same chalk drawing from different angles. Because these final shots are so perfect that it's hard to really grasp the genius of this without seeing it from it's distorted angles.

The video shows some less than perfect angles as he draws, including ground level shots.
Also how he looks through a DSLR to check on the perspective as it develops.
Pretty impressive.
