Surreal World by Paul Parkus

39 comments

Paul Parkus, author of these two images, submitted them yesterday. Funny part is that when I received them, I thought to my self "Well, nice pictures Paul, but how in the wolrd are they illusions? The first one is only nice looking oil painting and the other is, well, impressive photoshop work". Later that day Paul replyed with an explanation, and only then I was amazed! To give you a hint, try tilting your head to the right when looking the paintng below. Do you see it? For the other one (inside this post), you see it for yourself! Thanks Paul for this amazing submission! If you like this author's work, be sure to visit parkus.com!

    I don't get it at all, can somebody help me?

    I can't see anything. How do I do it??

    Need explanation. What is it?

    Ok, so are we just supposed to see the one weird things in the second picture or is there actually something hidden?

    The first one is cool! If you look at it straight, you see what looks to be a boat with people in it. The man on he right looks he is playing a sax or smoking a pipe. Then if you tilt your head to the right (I had to do it all the way), then you see a face. Amazing!

    The second picture looks like a play on water. In the cube, on the left, you see the head going into the water. On the right, you see the part thats in the water. On the outside, you see hands going under water with their reflections from the surface. The child is reflected al over the place. Interesting pic, but not as god as the first IMHO.

    the second one is a kind of mirrored world where if i take the hand at the top as and example, you can see both the inside and outside of them. the face and chest on the right middle are the back and shoulders of the guy on the left middle. hope that clears it up. i think it looks awesome, dont get the point of the little fairy things tho?!

    To Andantonius regarding "how to do it"

    First, you find a willing female, take her to dinner, then perhaps a show. Next, take her to a secluded romantic setting... undress (be sure to use protection) then refer to the Karma Sutra for further instructions on "how you do it"

    Hope this helps!!

    For the first one. Back away from the screen, tilt your head to the right and squint. Yo should see the face that takes up the whole middle of the screen.

    When somebody fihures out the second one let everyone know. I printed it out. Tried to rotate it, look at it from an angle, etc. Nothing!

  19. Anonymous Robb 

    The first one is cool. The second one is views from above and below a pool of water that he's putting his face and hands in. It's neat, but I don't understand the whole cherub pattern. Perhaps it is the design of a fountain.

    I still can't see anything? *sniff* :*( Could anyone maybe outline the area the face is in to help?

  23. Anonymous Frappo 

    Wow, bob. That was the hardest to read and most retarded paragraph I've read in months.

  24. Anonymous The Big Lebowski 

    Hey Frappo... Regarding bobs' inability to communicate beyond that of a 3rd grader...
    we shouldn't make fun of the mentally challanged. Instead, lets refer him to some helpful literature. I recommend the following:

    Where's Waldo, versions 1, 3 and 5. 2 and 4 are a bit advanced.
    The Cat in The Hat
    The Adventures of Jack and Jill
    Baby's first book of ABC's

    This should get him off to a great start.

    What do ya think?

    the boat in the first picture is a dark outline on the face. there are two people... one is the shadow under the eye, one is the shadow under the nose. the mouth is a ladder

  26. Anonymous NotTellingYou 

    Ok, let's see if this helps:
    The first picture is supposed to be people rowing a boat arcross the water. The person at the prow of the boat forms the eye. The other person sitting farther back forms the nose (look at it tilted 90 degrees to the left).

    The second picture isn't a true iluusion. The second picture only represents a surreal world. Don't try too hard to see an ilusion in it.

    Ok, hope it helps. Oh, and love this website.

    The first pic is also a landscape if you rotate it 180deg. You see a tree on top of the hill and some clouds on the far left.

    But i cant get that face now out of my head. Arg,,,

  28. Anonymous Tiny 

    With the first one, what you see straight away is people in a boat. Then, turn your head to the right and you will see a face. Finally, turn the picture, (or yuor head) upside down and you will see another landscape with some hills and some sort of animal.

    wow there is just somethin about them that makes them simply beautiful

  31. Anonymous Tori 

    wow i thought that the first pic was a guy rowing and if you turned it, it was a island over water.

    Why's everyone taking the piss out of bob? Lol, he tried his best to be non-dyslexic with the keyboard but it didn't pay off...
    Anyway, back to the pic - they're both cool. First one (if you look straight ahead at it) is a boat with people on it, but if you tilt your head 180~ degrees to the right, its a face.
    The second one is portraying the face of a man who has dipped his face into water, and the hands are the reflection including the little child at the top.
    And you would've never guessed that I'm only 15! Hehe i love saying this bit! Lol visit my site! leave a comment

    On the right side of the cube, you can see the man's nose and mouth portraying outward. Since on the left, his whole face was emerging into the cube.

    if u turn it upside down it looks like a hill i could only see it cause i turned my laptop upside-down.

  36. Blogger Teh_Pwn4Ge 

    I don't understand the first one. All I see is a sideways face. Is that supposed to be the illusion part?
