Explanation of the above pics.
Villa Alamitos
Painted on 3 sides of a free-standing, 2-story building, this mural of trompe l'oeil architecture transforms this plain building into an elegant addition to the neighborhood.
The building owner was preparing to open The Museum of Latin American Art across the street from this building, in a somewhat shabby part of downtown Long Beach, and wanted to do something to improve the neighborhood.
The building is painted in the style of a Latin American villa, with ornate painted moldings, fake windows and doors, a painted stairway, and painted doors opening onto a painted inner courtyard.
Existing windows are integrated into the design, along with painted matching windows and other details used to help provide symmetry and balance to the overall look of the painted architectural illusion. Trees and bushes are painted around the base of the building to help the visual transition from reality to illusion.
Villa Alamitos, 27x119', acrylic, Dec. 1995, Long Beach CA.

Yeah he's quite good.
http://www.artmortimer.com/Media/parrish.jpgThis mural is based on a painting by American artist Maxfield Parrish.
It is painted on the wall in the living room of the home of Belinda Carlisle (of the Go Go's singing group) and Morgan Mason (film producer and son of actor James Mason).
The mural is painted as though there is a large window in the wall, and the painting is the view through the window.Romance-- An Homage To Maxfield Parrish, 5x13-1/2', acrylic, Sept. 1988, Beverly Hills CA. (http://www.artmortimer.com/Pages/fairfax.html)

Thanks Vaden:puckerup:
When I was in San Fran. I got to go to one of his gallery openings and it was so amazing. I wanted to take everything home with me!
I just ordered one of his books called 'Transfigurations' and I can't wait to get it.
Did you know that he used to do the art work for medical illustration?
Which explains how he knows every bone in the human body.....And how to turn theminto beautiful works of art.

Dig the fuck outta that elektra one! Any idea who painted it? I can see the siggy, but i can't make it out. I'd like to see whoever that is do Catwoman (in her mid 90's costume, not the biker chiq get-up she's got today, wich i hate).
