Trompe-l'oeil is an art technique that means "fools the eye". It is a way of painting that intends to make the image look like it has a third dimension. I think the OOB technique is an example.

This was one of the trompe-l'oeil paintings on the wall at the motel in Dennis, MA. I have used the technique in tole painting.

There is some sidewalk art that has made the rounds on the internet using this technique, COG. Here are some examples.
Your presentation is too cool.

Is this something like they paint on the streets and pavements - like deep deep holes that do not exist?
In any case this one is simply cute.
It has a "must-have" neon above it [reference is made to the latest post by one friend of ours here LOL].

So would that be the same as the sidewalk paintings that present the illusion of depth that isn't there? Enjoyed this.
