3D Images On Pavements

Don't fall in! Amazingly realistic 3D images on pavements across America and Europe By Leon Watson From Piccadilly Circus to an incident at Waterloo this eye-opening 3D street art is probably the best on the planet. Not only do these incredible pastel drawings on pavements across the world look realistic by themselves - but when passers-by jump into the scene they take on a life of their own. As well as his London creations, U.S. street artist Kurt Wenner, 53, created a playboy's bachelor pad in a Singapore Airport, a magic carpet for children to ride over an Arabian fantasy city and a grand prix car for local female drivers to try out during the Bahrain Grand Prix. Under the carpet: Mr Wenner's The Flying Carpet photographed in Bettona, Italy Piccadilly Circus?

Using his homemade pastels, he can take up to seven days to complete his intricately detailed large-scale drawings, sometimes longer depending on the weather. Mr Wenner's innovative style draws on religion and classical mythology. Mr Wenner began his career in Rome, inspired by the city's centuries-old tradition of street art. Mr Wenner explains: 'The pieces look real because they are calculated to be perfectly and mathematically accurate.'
