TIME Photo Essay: Art of the Street: A small visual tour of how some artists are recreating the urban landscape. Big fans of optical illusions, twin brothers Ad and Droo from <a href="http://whendogsfly.com/">Skewville</a>, incorporate words into their pieces. Their work is almost exclusively three-dimensional in nature. The duo began installing these ventilation grates in Manhattan earlier this year. A block-letter magnet their mother kept on the refrigerator inspired the idea. "Now, any vent I look at, I see a word there," says Droo. PHOTO BY SKEWVILLE
