Damon Belanger, an artist from Redwood City, California, has taken to the streets of the city to make surreal street art. Instead of normal sidewalk painting, Belanger has taken to working with shadows, literally. He has created shadows sprouting from everyday objects on the city’s roadways.

The artist has created shadows of a variety of objects and animals, including monkeys, cats, and aliens, among others. To make his shadowy sidewalk art he starts by stenciling in the outlines of the shadows he is seeking to create. He finishes by painting them dark grey, which gives them their shadowy appearance.

Belanger is not the only one who creates such artwork. Dos Jotas, from Madrid, Spain, also makes shadowy art along people’s everyday walks, and even on the walls in the city. His artwork takes advantage of shadows cast on the walls in the city, with some only being visible in the evening hours. Plus there are many others in cities around the world who use their skills to create beautiful works of art using shadows.

Check out the artwork for both of these artists and prepare to be fooled and amazed.
