These incredibly lifelike paintings were created by John Pugh who calls his artwork “trick of the eye.”
The Californian-born artist said: ‘It seems almost universal that people take delight in being visually tricked.’

You might look at this as one form of art stepping up where another fails; The paintings work best on buildings with the most boring designs.

That is just pretty freakin awesome. I would love to see his work in person. Just.. wow.. I love crap like this.

In that case, I must be family of that coyote. 
But I agree with you Kalel.
And that said- The more of this kind of painting- the better.

On one of his murals of a giant wave there was this caption:
“Wonder wave: John Pugh’s Mana Nalu mural in Honolulu. Fire crews rushed to save the children from the mighty wave – before realising it was an optical illusion”
You think the fact that the wave *wasn’t moving* would have clued the firefighters into the fact it was a painting?
I smell BS.

Splendid – magnificent.
I doubt the firefighter story. You think they’d have had more sense.
