Former NASA scientist Kurt Wenner came up with some street art that are some amazing 3D optical illusions. They look so real it is difficult to believe that they were painted. With a person standing next to one of them you would swear that the art next to them as real as they are. The man is a scientist as well as an artistic genius.

The 3D artist, who was once commissioned to draw for the Pope, will soon

in fact hand drawn using chalk.
Due to the emergence of computer generated images, Kurt was one of
the very last artists to be trained how to mechanically replicate perspectives
using just basic stationery and mind-bending equations.
This piece in Philadelphia for Buick motor company was divided into
two ‘planes’, so that the participants could picture themselves in the car.
This effect was achieved by creating a ‘cut out’ of part of the drawing, and
having the participants lie on their backs.
