This Street Artist Transforms Cement Blocks into Mind-Blowing Illusions

[ornotna]

Portuguese artist Odeith is a master of illusion art. Using spray paint, he's able to add visual depth to flat surfaces. The resulting images seem so realistic, it's hard to believe that they're all just a painted illusion. His latest triumph transforms an isolated cement structure in an abandoned warehouse into a wrecked school bus. The mind-blowing illusion is so real, it's causing a sensation online.

Odeith's bus appears perfectly at home in the mostly empty environment and, at first glance, simply seems like a discarded vehicle sitting in a deserted space. It's only when you look at the “before” photograph that you realize this isn't a vehicle at all. And upon closer inspection, the viewer can truly appreciate the technical skill necessary to pull off this transformation.

Odeith began by teasing his followers, posting a photo of the block-like structure and asking people to guess what he'd be changing it into with paint. People didn't have to wait long to see what he'd come up with, as just three days later he unveiled his masterpiece. The graffiti artist's attention to detail is unmatched, with him even painting the proper shadow of the bus on the wall, according to how the sun filters through the open roof.

1. This style of art is very impressive

The transformations are amazing, surprising and incredible fun because we know we’re being visually fooled and we love it for that very reason.

People argue about what sets humans apart from animals. I’ve always believed it was the ability to make art and music, sometimes for no other reason than to do it or unexplainable because we have to at the dictate of something from deep inside that compels us.

8. Wow! I love those tattoos!

I have a friend who is an artist who creates CGI effects and animated cartoons and who may be a tattoo artist if it’s ever safe again. I sent her the link.

Every once in a while I’ll watch the Ink shows to see how tattoos are evolving.

I can't believe anyone can do that with paint and brushes? SPRAY PAINT??? Unbelievable.
