A Little Bit Of Street Art,

from happier times when we could go out and enjoy it,


these are from Toronto-based designer Ben Johnston, who plays with color, shadow, and perspective to create typography that appears three-dimensional in his site-specific murals,

 a disciplined designer, Johnston told Scotty Russell of the Perspective Podcast that he spends no more than four days painting a mural, preferring to work longer days to get it done rather than stretch it out over a week,

 for myself they seem just so unreal,

 just thinking of how to achieve this effect I can not imagine, 

 they all seem so totally surreal, 

 especially in photographs like these, 

it just looks so strange, photographs © Ben Johnston, if you like this style of work you can follow Johnston on Instagram to keep up with his latest illusory murals, and get a glimpse into his painting process on Vimeo, amazing!
