I have recently helped out with some trompe l'oeil on BBC1's "DIY SOS" with my associate Gordon Collett.

As soon as I get transmission dates I will post them here.

Gordon & myself have also lended our artistic skills to three shows for ITV1's "60 Minute Makeover".

Murals & Trompe L'Oeil
Murals & Trompe L'Oeil paintings have become a unique and appealing way
of adding personality to a business or home
Consideration for the architectural detailing, colour and mood of the
environment creates artwork which is both individual and sensitive
to the style and period of the setting.
Trompe L'Oeil
This is a French expression meaning simply to 'trick the eye' and it describes
a painted illusion, a visual joke, specifically designed to fool viewers into
believing that what they are seeing is real.
It is only when they come closer to inspect the work in more detail - perhaps
even as they reach over to pick up a realistically painted wine glass -
they realize to their delight that they have been duped.
A good trompe l'oeil mural can blur the boundary between fantasy and reality,
making the viewer believe they are looking out onto a Tuscan landscape -
even from the confines of a windowless room.
They are the ultimate form of escapism from the drab uniformity of modern life
