This street artwork by Julian Beever is amazing. He has worked on pavements in the U.K., Belgium, France, The Netherlands, Germany, the USA and Australia. The three dimesional quality to his work is fascinating. In the right context these images can be really powerful - a useful one to remember for future ambient media ideas.
These images are just a few I picked out. There are loads more at http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/ It's not the best designed website I've seen but the artwork certainnly makes up for this!

This is really unusual - I havent come across any of his work before or seen anything I can remember to be similar. As you say, there is, in this concept, definately room for some ambient media executions for a suitable brief. In a busy public space, I can see something as intrusive and memorable as this being particularly effective.
I love his work - talk about mastering the art of perspective. I think there are several companies which has used his services, maybe not in the most clever of ways but still. (He made one for Make Poverty History and he might have made on for Coca Cola as well.)
I have seen this guys work before and bizarrely have been looking for him - my brother asked me about his work recently. But great stuff have you seen it where it shows you the picture in reverse so you see that how different it looks, one angle you see it as it is, the other the image is so stretched, there is one with a planet and it then showes it the opposite way. Could be good for one offs in open spaces just have to hope it doesnt rain when you book him in.
someone else has posted something similar to this and think its amazing work. theres one piece that someones posted that is a whole street painted as a river leading to a waterfall, its so realistic and im sure gets lots of attention.
