Russian painter, Stefan Pabst creates lifelike 3D images that look so real:

I am having a glitch and I can't see the images. Hopefully by tomorrow things will be sorted out. I do want to see them.

Incredible, Tobi! Do you know what the technique is (apart from good use of shadows)?

[Tobi]

It's known as the "Trompe l'oeil" technique. That is French for -I believe -"trick the eye". Yes it involves careful addition of shadows, but also a clever use of perspective.

There's a bit of info. about that painting style here:

[Apologies for the link not working at the moment. Our engineers are working on the website. Things should be back to normal as soon as possible.]

For anyone interested, google "Trompe l'oeil" and there will be some sites with info about that style.

I must say it is one of the most exciting painting styles I have seen. Many street artists use this style, and their work is always a joy to behold! It takes a good grounding in basic artwork skills to pull it off though.

I went old school and I copied the address and Google took me right to it. Links are convenient, but there are other ways.

What amazing pictures. You are right, the snake is awesome. I think it is a harmless milk snake or maybe a king snake, also harmless.

It is hard to believe it is a picture and not real. It is more real looking than a photograph.

My eyes are certainly fooled.
