Ugly New Buildings

June 9, 2008 · 24 Comments

Dan Witz is an amazingly detail oriented street artist who is a master at optical illusion, creating 2D images and placing them in public spaces so that they appear to be 3D. Often, changes in scale or color are the only way to know they aren’t real. But his latest project, Ugly New Buildings, really plays up on the illusionary factor.

There are many more at his site as well as a statement about the project and its title.
