Now, hopefully you all have heard of this guy, but if not, check out Julian Beever's work.

• Time lapse video of Julian Beever in action!

My favorite drawings of his are anamorphic art, or art that seems very distorted until you see it from a very particular spot. (The first anamorphic art can be traced back to a drawing by Leonardo Da Vinci in 1485!) For example, when viewed from the proper vantage point, Beevers art looks like this:
But, viewed from a different point of view, the drawing doesn't make much sense at all! (Do you see the camera from across the drawing?)


Here are just a few of the most amazing Julian Beever drawings, including his self-portrait. Check out the sites above for more!
