It's great 'cause we've got this amazing new series Concrete Canvas that has a lot of anamorphic street art in it so it'd great to know there's a really active, interested audience out there for it. The series presenter, Julian Beever, creates "trompe-l'oeil" chalk drawings which, when complete, create stunning optical illusions filled with depth, life and colour. He creates a projection in his works (the anamorphosis) which produces a very realistic 3-D effect when viewed at a certain angle. We follow him on his artistic mission around the world as he tries to find the best pavements, sidewalks and walls for his visually stunning art.
We've stuck up some really good clips from the series - my favourite is the one where he's in conversation with the council workers who usually spend their time washing street art off the streets!
Cast your eyes over a couple of the images here:
