How did you first get into 3D trompe l’oeils?
I worked as a 2D street painter for 10 years. I was becoming popular so I decided to try 3D. It was very rewarding because it was a challenge to learn a new technique and people loved the effect. It is very rewarding.

The piece will be the world’s longest trompe l’oeil painting. How does it feel to be a world record holder?
It’s very exciting. We didn’t realize when we first accepted the project. To have the record proposed to us was a very exciting twist.

What was the inspiration behind the piece?
Diving into a new and exciting world where you will meet the unexpected.

Where there any difficulties with the project?
One issue was that we were not able to see the location until after much of the painting was complete. We had to begin working in our studio and ship our work overseas and continue on-site. A lot of planning went into it. I think the special moment will be the second it is all complete.

How long do you typically spend on each project?
It really depends, most take 2-7 days. This project took us two weeks in total.

What is it about 3D anamorphic art that you find most appealing?
Anamorphic art is like a surprise for the audience. You look at it from one angle and it looks completely strange, then all of a sudden you step in the right spot and a cool image comes to life.
