Optical illusions never cease to amuse. Not everyone appreciates all kinds of art. Illusionary art, however is an exception. When a piece of chalk-drawn art makes you see something that you know isn’t there, you’re forced to appreciate the artist’s work. Pseudo-3D or illusionary art are found on sidewalks and in streets around the world courtesy of several gifted artists.
Following are photographs of ten of the most amazing works of illusionary 3D street art gathered from around the web. Each photograph is a piece of art in itself, taken from an appropriate angle wherefrom the illusion is visible, with people posing over the art so as to blend with it in the eyes of the camera.

Artist Edgar Mueller broke the sidewalk chalk-art convention and used paint to fabricate this remarkable 3D illusion.
