Modern Mantra Illusion
January 24, 2007 by Vurdlak
Here and then, I post a piece of art that isn't directly connected to optical illusions. Still, theres a reason for me to post them, usually while it's something fresh, or simply because of the interesting approach from the author. Another title for this illusion could be "Modern ASCII Art". Matthew Egbers emailed me this set of drawings created by artist called Thomas Broome. As you see he is literally making images with words. We saw something similar with Bar Codes in the past. You should open the drawings in full size, if you want to see the words more closely. Pretty cool effect, don't you think? Matthew also wrote a letter: "I have been looking at your site for a while and really enjoy it. I happened upon this while Digging today and thought they were perfect for your site. I didn't create them and have no connection with the artist." Also be sure to check Dashhatch Illusions, for more hidden treasures!

Those are so great!
that's pretty cool. I wonder how long it took>
This is freaking awesome!
THESE ARE AWESOME
THEY WOULD BE BETTER, THOGH, IF YOU COULD ZOOM IN A BIT MORE
These are simply g r e a t
It's a pity we can't make the pics big enough to read all the words....
I'm absolutely amazed.
This is so cool!
That is Pretty sweet, it's so accurate it almost looks like CG...which, I suppose is possible, but nonetheless, VERY awesome
thats soo cool. im thinking it took lots of time upon his hands, eh?
It reminds me of a music-clip I saw a year ago I think, don't remember who made it. But it was a trip through a city, and everything was in words as in these pictures, even an unborn baby in his mother. Great stuff!
that looks like in the matrix where all the symbols make a 3d image
Amazing!!
These are great works of art without them being made from words, but knowing that they are made by words only makes you appreciate them more.
those are amazing! makes me want to try now...
I am really impressed at the number of works this artist did. That is a great indicator of how comitted this person is to his/her ideas and work. Bravo! Excellent quality!
those are really cool.great idea...
Amazing...
I love how you use the words to create the art. SO BEAUTIFUL. But, I don't get why it is an "illusion"
Truely amazing pictures! Too bad that the placing of the numbers in the 'mirror' watch isn't mirrored ;-) (the one is still on the place where you should suspect the one on a normal watch)
Oh wow how cool is that!
FOR ME IT IS A WORLD OF WORDS.
im totally doin that to my room!
