We signed Maegan up for t-ball and she had her first ever practice this week. She is one of the youngest on her team and one of only two girls. Maegan had a lot to learn but she had a blast and can’t wait until her first game.
Imagine if the fictionally warped world of M.C. Escher was taken off the flat easel that makes his illusions possible, and thrust into the real 3D world? Now throw in some busy city sidewalks and a bucket of street chalk and you’ve got the work of a European artist named Julian Beever. Beever creates chalk drawings on flat city sidewalks that amazingly appear three-dimensional when viewed from just the right angle. From any other angle the drawings look totally distorted. Above you see an amazing illusion of Beever acting as if he’s ready to dive into the drawing, which is really a totally flat section of sidewalk! On the right is another of his drawings where he is being rescued by Batman and Robin from a subterranean Gotham City. Below are two links with photos to many more of Beever’s 3D illusions. Enjoy
