Optical Illusion Graffiti
Clearly, most types of street art still have that illegal aspect to it. And if one day, you decide to alter a road surface marking, you will likely be fined or arrested. That’s the case with graffiti artist Roadsworth, he infringes the law every time he risks placing a clever stencil on pavement.
Notes about the artist:
Roadsworth began painting the streets of Montreal in the fall of 2001. Initially motivated by a desire for more bike paths in the city and a questioning of “car culture” in general, he continued to develop a language around street markings and other elements of the urban landscape using a primarily stencil based technique. In the fall of 2004, Roadsworth was arrested for his nocturnal activities and charged with 53 counts of mischief. Despite the threat of heavy fines and a criminal record he received a relatively lenient sentence which he attributes in part to the public support he received subsequent to his arrest. Since that time, Roadsworth has received various commissions for his work and continues to be active in both visual art and music.

Maybe a lost in translation thing but these are not optical illusions. Check the dictionary out some time.
Hi Parker, I’ve checked the dictionary, and I think these specific images can be an exception to “illusionary” effect. It isn’t the typical magic trick, but you do look at a street marking and still see it, and then with the addition see something else.
Hey, parker, I checked. I thought I’d share it with you, so you know what you’re talking about.
So do you think that the objective reality of this images differs from the apparent changes? Or do you just see bullets every time you cross the street?
I’ve found that it is rather difficult to speak with a foot in my mouth; maybe you should look into that?
