John Pugh is at it again… painting incredible murals…

I’m sure you lot have seen the awesome work of trompe l’oeil (trick-the-eye) artist John Pugh before, you know: the guy who paints insanely realistic murals.

Well, here are a few more examples of this guy’s work: 3D murals painted on the sides of buildings. Incredible! Click each image for a bigger version in a new window/tab

John Pugh - the man behind it all

Main Street, Los Gatos, California . Even the woman peering into the ruin is part of the mural.

Taylor Hall, California State University, Chico, California. The Doric-style columns are actually nothing but paint.

Honolulu, Hawaii. This mural took two months of studio work to plan and another six months to execute with the help of 11 other artists. Featured are Queen Liliuokalani, the last monarch of the Hawaiian Islands, and Duke Kahanamoku, the ultimate father of surfing.

This mural at the Cafe Trompe L’oeil, San Jose, California, is entitled “Art Imitating Life Imitating Art Imitating Life”. This customer doesn’t leave at closing time.

Twenty-nine Palms, California. Valentine the bull and a patient buzzard are waiting for the artist to awake.

Bay in a Bottle, Santa Cruz, California. The passerby is part of the mural.

Looks like a nice spot to rest your weary feet on a sidewalk in front of the Sarasota County Health Center, Florida.

“Slowin’ Down to Take a Look” in Winslow, Arizona. Yup – you guessed it: the reflection of the vehicle with the girl having a look is part of the mural.

Somehow I feel that my crappy little stick figure drawings ain’t really gonna cut it. Call it a hunch.
