| | New Illusionistic Wall Mural Workshop
Learn Anamorphic 3D illusionism
You've seen sidewalk art that tricks the eye. Now we will take it to a whole 'nother level of photorealistic illusionism.
The nearby town of Winnsboro, SC has asked us to create a giant illusionistic mural on the side of a building, so here's your chance to learn how its done/ The subject will be an old steam locomotive emerging from a tunnel made of granite, and the results are expected to fool even the most discerning eye.

| | New Skin Texture 3 released!
This new organic pattern mimics the random patterns on a healthy male face, and includes forehead, cheek, eye surround, and nose textures, but this stencil is not just for skin textures.
Use it anywhere you need a background to break up sterile areas with something more organic.
