Julian Beever, originally from Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire, in the UK, has traveled the world, wowing people with his drawings that appear to leap right out of the pavement.
Beever uses a technique known as anamorphosis to create his pieces, meaning that the illusion requires a special device to truly appreciate it. To that end, he places a camera in the correct position when he completes his drawings to allow passersby the full effect.
