Remember Josh Sommers? He was the artist that created all the impossible CG object (Part I and Part II), and those marvelous Escheresques (Part I).

But since illusions are something I consider “my expertise“, immediately have I remembered my “Eye Examination Test” – which can be found inside optical illusion Tests. [...]

Josh Sommers is the guy we mentioned few times on Mighty Optical Illusions in the past. His Escheresques and Impossible CG Objects, that I found out little later were done by Josh as well, are truly wonderful piece of art. Today I prepared part II of his impossible object collection. The “impossible objects” he created [...]

Per Enström, Kevin Sowter, Elijah Jones, Jeff Cassell and dozen more of our loyal visitors have sent me this awesome optical illusion video in range of two days.
