This Artist Paints Fake Shadows On City Streets And They're Confusing As Heck

There are so many cities with the coolest street art that draws crowds. Some street art is in the form of graffiti on the sides of buildings, other times manholes are painted to bring some new life to these ubiquitous objects.

One artist is creatively turning the shadows of common street objects into the coolest imaginative characters.

Damon Belanger is an artist and designer based out of the Bay area in Redwood City.

He paints the coolest shadow art spread across the city on sidewalks.

Damon reimagines shadows of common objects on city streets and turns them into quirky shadow creatures.

A parking ticket machine is transformed into a monkey on a pedestal!

The wild thing is that Damon totally understands how shadows are cast, and that's what makes these painted shadows real head-turners.

I would do like 10 double-takes after looking at this cat-beast-thing.

Aw, it's like the mailbox is a little monster that eats your mail!
