Got this photo collection of from a visitor whose contact I have lost, so no additional info can be provided except that all of the amazing portraits were made by sticking small pieces of tape one over another. The more layers author attached one over another, the darker was the shade he achieved. It struggles me how detailed all of the portraits are, and it must have taken ages and great amount of concentration (and talent!) to create something as interesting as this. Am not sure if this belongs to this site’s theme, but the photos immediately reminded me of Barcode Art post, and Scarface Poster Illusion that we already covered in the past. If we got those to pass the audience criteria, you’ll probably like this one as well!

These are just mind-boggling.
OMG ZORZ
Thats rediculous

Wow, thats pretty damn cool, and the effort….
nice, thats reli cool
its like the person who made pictures with burnt toast

It never ceases to boggle my mind how talented and creative some people are. I certainly did not get the creative gene. Maybe not a true illusion, but an interesting group of pictures. Keep up the wonderful work you do for our enjoyment.
Hmmm. Can this truly be called an ‘illusion?’ After all, every image is made of up tiny, dicrete units of color/tone.
that’s pretty neat… they look horrible up close, but the further away you get, the better they look!
This is wonderful!
I love it, and yes, I think this sure belongs on this site. It is a little like those shadow-pictures you once showed us. It is unbelieveble how someone can make beautiful art like this with quite big pieces of TAPE!
that’s a lot of tape.
wow these are amazing. i really like the one with the three girls!
thats really cool. i wonder if they pictures were actually made from tape or if its just an illusion that the artist made….oh wait. this is an illusion site so it must be an illusion. haha :)
simply amazing.
those are cool, very interesting as to how they’re made.
Awesome!
whoas. thats cool :]
absolutely amazing ;]
*intense*
thats really cool, and unusual to, how do you come up with the idea to use tape as a medium!
wow
does anyone know whos artowrk this is?
Cool.. Tape truely is multi-purpose :P
Nice one! And first!
How do they do that? thats amazing
The author is Mark Khaisman.
these rnt rly illusions but they r very good artwork
in the second and third.. there are things that seem like figures of people… not that this is an illusion. but some things look like ppl
Hum…
wow, thats pretty gud. who thought there could me more than twelve uses for tape?
keep up the great work

This is probably what would have happened if Claude Monet had turned in his paint palette for a roll of tape.
In other words: post-impressionism!
all i can say is… WOW!!! that’s sooooooo cool!
