I have just stumbled upon this interesting mural in my mailbox. Maria Dentura asked our readership whether the mural below contains a partial painting of a passing businessman, and if his “other part” (in the background) belongs to a similar person accidentally passing-by? I have to admit that the image fooled me when I saw it for the first time. Moments later, I noticed more accompanying details, which then revealed the optical illusion. Hope you like this submission, and are willing to share your view on it. Sorry people, Dirty Harry has just started, so am off to watch my favorite crazy detective. Logging off…

i personally think the whole thing is a painting. none of it looks very “real”, but it was done well.
it’s just a painting, and it’s painted wrong if you would ask me… Look at the shadow of the wall at both sides and look at the shadow of the yellow thing. ( sorry, I’m from Holland, and my English is not perfect, because I’m still at school. )
they’re both fake (paintings). The wall and the fire hydrant are obviously painted
this isn’t that bad but did anyone notice that they didn’t do the strp of the bag on the brick part because you would have seen it on the shoulder but it’s not there…
The whole thing is painted!!
cool illusion!
It’s all one big painting. You can tell by the not-quite-realistic parts of the background
what made me realise it was all fake was looking at the foot of the “real” person and noticing that his right foot was infront of the wall
all painted
