Street art has a way of making people stop and stare, but Damon Belanger takes it to another level with his clever shadow illustrations.
His work transforms everyday sidewalks and street corners into playful illusions that make people do a double take.
At first glance, his painted shadows look completely real—until you realize they’re attached to something that shouldn’t be casting one at all.
From mischievous creatures lurking beneath bike racks to inanimate objects suddenly coming to life, Belanger’s work adds a touch of surrealism to the mundane.
The best part? These illusions blend so seamlessly into their surroundings that people don’t notice right away, leading to some pretty funny moments of confusion.
If you’ve ever questioned reality after seeing something that didn’t quite add up, you’ll appreciate these brilliant shadow pranks.
Scroll on for some of the most mind-bending examples of Belanger’s street art.
