Amazing Chalk Art

This amazing chalk art is created by Julian Beever, who has spent 20 years creating pavement art in Europe, USA and Australia. He has the nickname the 'Pavement Picasso'. Many of his creations are optical illusions, such as this one, where Julian appears to be perched on a ledge, waiting for Batman and Robin to climb the building and rescue him.

In reality, there is just pavement in front of him, and the street below together with the expectant crowd, plus the blazing building below him, are all tricks played on the eye.

While many of his pictures can take a whole day to create, by the next day they are often gone, vanished under the feet of passing pedestrians.

It's so cool, isn't it?
