Crazy paving: Britain's top street artist will cheer you up with his amazing 3D illusions

From white-water rafting in a shopping centre to an encounter with the world's biggest butterfly, these amazing images have all been created using nothing more than chalk and a lot of imagination.

The work of British street-artist Julian Beever, the pictures use a technique known as 'anamorphia'.

This means they are drawn in two dimensions, but when seen from a particular angle they appear three dimensional.

Beever, who was born in Melton Mowbray, Leics, has been travelling the world for 15 years creating the scenes, which have been collected in a new book, Pavement Chalk Artist.

Taking the plunge: The Montreal steps are real, but the water pouring down them is an illusion

Down the drain: The artist gets himself into the perfect position in this set-up in Brussels so it's hard to spot the hose and water are a drawing

Hold tight: The artist takes a spectator white water rafting, in Charleston, West Virginia

Flight of fancy: The butterfly looks ready to land, even casting a shadow, yet look how far away the crowd have to stand not to step on it

Fall guy: All the scaffolding and even the boards Julian Beever is kneeling on are drawn in challk in this photo from Vienna

Hang on: In 'Barrowford Mill' the boy clings to a real pole in the ground fusing the real world with the image

Something fishy: It all looks real until you notice the lines of the paving slabs. The girl, in Lisbon, IS real
