Mary Ann put this trompe l’oeil art on Pinterest, bless her heart. She’s an endless source of cool stuff.
The online magazine Feel Desain has the story.
“In Potsdam, Germany, street artists Daniel Siering and Mario Shu have recently created a clever piece of illusion that depicts a surreal hovering tree. After wrapping a part of the tree truck with plastic sheeting, they made an amazingly detailed and realistic spray-painting of the surrounding landscape on it.
“The result is a brilliant illusion that the tree has been sawed through and is floating in mid-air over its stump.”
Watch the video showing how it’s done, here.

This is amazing!
Doesn’t it make you want to try it? Maybe make a video of people walking by and doing a double-take.
That may be the coolest thing I’ve sever seen! Trompe l’oeil has always intrigued me but taking it to the streets adds to the fun!
I think you have to be really good to paint the background so perfectly.
