"This dramatic piece is 50 ft x 75 ft and shows a craggy portal leading to a fantasy moon. Created by local artist Blue Sky, who has more work in the area, it can be found in a parking lot in downtown Columbia. The artist does regular touch ups to make sure it stays as realistic as possible but despite tales to the contrary it has not been crashed into by any confused local drivers."
"Tom Bragado Blanco, or Braga Last One, creates stunning trompe l'oeil illusions that push the boundaries of street art. He blends 3D painting and anamorphic illusions to create mind-blowing site-specific pieces that blend into their surroundings. A perfect example of his trompe l'oeil illusion technique is this masterful sphynx cat on an old gas tank in a field somewhere in Bouches-du-RhĂ´ne in southern France. Viewed from the right angle, the enormous bald feline blends perfectly into the landscape." More at link
