Here Is A Collection Of 57 Mind-Boggling 3D Illusion Art Pieces By Kurt Wenner
Imagination can take you to the most magical, surreal places, and there's no better way to share your inner world with others than art. Especially if you are a talented artist like Kurt Wenner, who specializes in 3D pavement artwork that creates an optical illusion tricking the mind into believing that the artwork on a floor or a wall is actually three-dimensional.
Kurt Wenner, born in Ann Arbor, Michigan, is best known for his realistic street painting and chalk murals that employ a projection technique known as anamorphosis. Kurt has participated in the development of creative projects with Disney, Warner, Microsoft, BBC and Universal Studios. He has even worked as an illustrator for NASA, creating conceptual paintings of future space projects and extraterrestrial landscapes. Wenner eventually left NASA for Italy to pursue his passion for classical art.
Kurt has also received a Kennedy Center Medallion for his outstanding contribution to global arts education.

This is absolutely amazing and an incredible accomplishment; but in also kinda getting a canabalistic feel from this because to me it looks like a big human on a plate in the middle, then everyone around it looks like they are sitting on plates...

It's supposed to be Dionysus/Bacchus and those are fountains of wine.

When looking at the "finger toes" and other strange looking bits, you have to keep in mind that they will look elongated or possibly weirdly shaped because this picture is taken from a higher vantage point that the painting is meant to be viewed. You can see the camera that was used to create the anamorphosis correctly, is down at the bottom in the middle, THAT is the angle the picture is meant to be viewed. If this photo had been taken looking straight down it would look extremely elongated and deformed; its how you are able to see the image in 3d when you view it from the proper spot.

This looks like PS the people in the car look a little fake, (if it is real, my brain will self destruct from how amazing it is)

I believe car and people in car are chalk. The kids and the second car are real. There are differences in texture you can see even more clearly if you save pic and zoom in. I've seen his work before where they show it from both sides. The 3D angle and from the other direction where you can see more how it is drawn. His art is pretty amazing even when you know it is not real.
