I'm going to be playing with my daughter's sidewalk chalk when I get home from work tonight. :lol:

[MinionZombie]

Good god! That one going all the way up the street is freakin' insane! :eek:

[Ghost Of War]

That first one is crazy, how frickin good is that?

[blind2d]

Wow... I'm speechless.

They could start using stuff like thisfor instructions and warnings on the road. For instance.....one school had this 45 foot decal printed out and attached to the street. This would definitely help convince people to slow down..

I've seen this guy's work before and it's far beyond incredible. :stunned:

Wow... just wow... :D

Yeah, the top one going down the street would have me scared to even walk on it for fear of falling in! Seriously! :eek:

:cool:

First, we need to release a gaggle of people dosed on acid amongst this artwork.

Secondly, this work is, well, it's incredible!

I would be really interested to see pictures of these taken from the other side. I think my brain just sprung trying to imagine it.

[MikePizzoff]

I've also seen this guys work before; he IS incredible. The only thing about this art, though, is that it's really only pleasant on the eyes from the right angle. If you're to walk on it, or look at it from the sides or opposite ends, it won't make too much sense and look odd. Regardless, it's still awesome.

[Danny]

arent those two different artists? I've seen both on i09 before and im pretty sure the top one is image manipulation from a series an artist did about normal streets turning into fantastic locals, wheras the lower is from an artist known for using chalk to make things look amazingly 3d.

That would be the true definition of chaos. :lol:

The site I got it from says it's the same guy. I dunno. The "this guy" in the original post is actually a link to the site. For some reason it's not underlined like a link, though...

Yeh, and then a month later, when all the drivers get used to it, the 'real' little girl picking up her ball from the road is mowed down... :stunned:

I was actually thinking the same thing but didn't want to say it due to superstition.

You've got a point. "Hey look, they added another kid sticker..." BAM

"This one's interactive..." :elol:

[blind2d]

Dude.... I mean, that's funny, but... seriously, if a real-live little kid got hit because of this... that would really suck.
