The pic of Marvel Comics superhero The Thing of Fantastic Four is definitely one of the best examples of trompe l'oeil I've seen. It was drawn by Justen Ladda in 1981 at PS 37 in the Bronx, New York. Link
(click on the "Side View" to see how it was done)Update 3/18/08 - Here's the side view of Justen's art. I hope it makes sense now :)

Here is an instruction on how to find him:
Go to a nice website called "google.com" then you type the words "Sidewalk chalk guy" in the white square where there probably is a vertical line blinking.
Then you press enter it is probably the biggest key on your keyboard (The thing in front of you you use to type with)
Then a lof of pages will show on your screen and you will be able to click one of the pages with your mouse. (Aint going to explain that to)

4th. Yeah you can probably find some spelling errors go ahead. :)

just kidding this is great work and the comments are truly hilarious. it's very easy to deride a great work but coming up with an idea like this and then implementing it is very challenging. Have any of the dissenters even used a projector to do this type of work? It's a little more difficult than you might think.
I think there are lots of trolls around here too...just trying to get a reaction.
