Past meets Present in the Miller Brewery Fermenting Rooms - hooks, clipboards and aprons were added to the surface of the murals to enhance the illusion. You're looking at flat walls!

I wonder if he'd do the back wall of my grage so it looked like a lap dancers' changing room?

That is really nice, but if we all find those aspects better than the concrete lumps he transforms, why do we let the bast*rds keep building crap cheepo buildings and enviroments.

WOW….. what a deferent’s it makes, looks cool

I wonder how many kids have tried running up the nigra one only to hit the wall and

Some great examples of modern Trompe l'oeil work there :)

It's name is associated with the Baroque period but it dates back as far as Greek and Roman times. Whilst waiting for the television to be invented, filthy rich Renaissance chappies used to amuse themselves by having things like packs of cards painted on their tables then inviting their friends over for a game and guffawing with laughter as they clawed at the wood in disbelief. I guess you have to have a hobby :D

I saw this about 6 months ago and thought it's amazing. always fancied trying it myself :D

LOL I remember being told about the card playing thingie at a art gallery and it made me laugh. I'd love to do that.

 

 

 

Those are good far far better than yukkie boring nasty cement eye soars of walls :hyper: :hyper:

I remember going to an exibition of Holograms at the IPA and in one room they a coffee table with an open packet of No6 kingsize a lighter and and ashtray. Loads of people tryed to take the fags it was really funny.
