Jay sent me these magnificent murals done by the unknown artist (if you know who the artist is, please post). These photos look so real, that people really get confused. Trompe l'oeil is the phrase for these realistic murals, done in the same way Julian Beever paints sidewalks. I adore these kind of artistic expressions, since they not only have that illusion touch, but also show a great talent. This is what Jay wrote me:

Jay Kleinrichert: "These would fit somewhere in the "3D chalk drawings" category. Anyway, I've been a big fan of the site since I discovered your widget, checking it daily. I get inspired sometimes in my career as a graphic designer."

    WOW!!! It looks like you could walk right through that painting! This is one of the bests. I am a medieval/renaissance loving guy so I really like this one.

    Regarding comment #7, you are either implying that:
    1) This guy is rich and famous (I've never heard of him, and his clothes don't look that nice) or
    2) You would be better at marketing yourself if you had this skill, so you are basically calling him an idiot.
    Nice job d bag.

    I like the paintings though

    GORGEOUS! There is amazing detail in each of these paintings--you can tell that just from the photographs. I wonder how long it took him to do all of these...! ;-)

    That's amazing! Dangerous though...

    These are awesome. Great illusions.

    #10 has issues. You need to relax. Do you think he would wear his best clothes when he paints?

  19. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Amazing job!

    In the future there's actually a name for "wall paintings", they're called murals.

  20. Blogger Benjamin 

    regarding comment #10, look at where he is painting! nice house or what? And anyway, who paints wearing a £1000 tuxedo? and he didn't give his name to the author, so obviously he dosen't want fame!

    Anyway, these paintings are amazing, even though they only work from the angles shown :)

    For #10... give #7 some credit, the painter must make some money from all of the people that come to him wanting him to do a painting for them. I'm not saying that he's rich and famous, but he has to have a pretty good amount of money. Think about it!

  22. Blogger Robin 

    This is very nicely done! He'll probably earn lots of money with this...

    lol i wonder how many people run into the walls cuz i know i would in an instant...
    For example...
    Me seeing this...
    Oh wow...look at that! I wanna see it!
    BAM
    ow...
    i'm run into glass panes before. i don't think i'd have any trouble with this.

  28. Blogger Scorpion 

    It so real. Specially the door and the top cupboard is so real.

  29. Anonymous Anonymous 

    Regarding comment #10, you are implying that, YOU should have heard of him, or that, YOU figure painters should paint in "nice" clothes. (A suit... or Tuxedo maybe?)
    You're proving YOU are an idiot.
    Nice job d bag.

  36. Anonymous Anonymous 

    First of all comment 10 is not correct because maybe this guy is rich and famous and all comment 7??? is saying is that he is very skilled and talented... and also numero dos must be based off of numero UNO. I am sorry but whoever posted number 7 is giving a compliment to this artist and is not in any way meant to deserve being called a____ anyone care to debate???????

    Dude i can't even WRITE neatly! leat along PAIN OR DRAW!!!!!!

    Regarding comment # 10 :
    For point # 1: Just because you've never heard of him doesn't mean he's not famous, and he possibly wouldn't want to get his 'nice clothes' dirty from the paint.
    For point # 2: Not everyone means the things they say/write in a negative way.

    The paintings are spectacular.

    waw, i wish i had thie wall in my house, thats so chic

  40. Anonymous Rob G 

    I would love to hire that guy to paint my house. I love how he blended it in so nicely with the room.

    Wow #10.. they were trying to compliment the artist with a little bit of envy.... Its still a compliment.... The next time you paint a room, you should wear an Armani suit... of course his clothes aren't going to look nice! He's painting! D-uhh.....

  41. Anonymous Nikki 

    Wow 0.0 dats incredible, love da site sooooooooo much!!!

  42. Anonymous Anonymous 

    anon. 10, Well he is a bit famous cause nearly all the people who have this widget..i imagine a lot..have now seen his work. And everyone has said wow that is cool. And i would imagine he is quite relatively well off because lots of people would want this sort of thing and you are paying for him talent - but i would call him more of an idiot if he were painting in a suit though.

  43. Anonymous Alan P-J 

    Like all the articles on this web site I think that the wall painting are amongst the nicest that I have seen. Thank you Jay for sending them in.

    What a pity that commenter #10 has nothing better to do with their time than to knock other people. Sad
