Leon Keer has been gracing sidewalks with amazing three-dimensional chalk art for years, and with his latest piece, he’s decided to dazzle people’s eyes with a 3D Pac-Man illustration. Keer added depth to his rendition of the flat retro game interface, and the resulting graphics look as though they belong on modern day consoles. It’s quite a spectacular way to contemporize Pac-Man, and the fact that he rendered the whole thing using chalk should not be downplayed.
Those looking to experience this Leon Keer piece in person will have to travel to Venlo, The Netherlands, though if you’re familiar with chalk art that’s drawn on the street, its existence is most likely fleeting. You can, however, enjoy more photographs of his work on his personal Flickr account.
