Came across this site and found it really interesting. It is amazing how talented some people are and how untalented I am. :(

Those are AMAZING! I cannot believe how talented some people are. I would love to know how to do that. I really love the floral designed ones but the rest are all equally fantastic.How about the eagle and turtle one? Awesome.

Did you check out the sidewalk chalk page? You only get the 3D effect if you look at it through a camera lens at the right place. The artist goes back and forth from the drawing to the camera to check his work.

Oh my gosh, how cool is that?! It looks so real, the guys in the manhole are pretty cool, so is the bee and the guy that looks like he is actually stepping into a swimming pool, alot of them look like you could reach out and touch them. I had no idea they could make them look so real, 3D, who woulda thought. Its really incrediblel isn't it?

I went to the state fair a couple of years ago and saw some pumpkin carvings that were similar. of course that's around halloween, so pumpkins are a hot topic. mind boggling what some folks can do
personally, I'm "graphically challenged" :scratch:

That's really neat magnet-man,.thanks. I was completely fooled by the lap-top chalk drawing. You do have a 'talent' for finding things like that.
