Each day before publishing fresh optical illusion, and writing according article, I go through the process of allowing/rejecting previous day’s comments. When I see my last post receiving 60 or more comments, I feel great and get highly motivated in creating new material. Yesterday’s post received an interesting and simple comment I’d like to point out. User called Dantheman wrote: “Great site. You keep up the good work, and I’ll keep telling everyone I know about it.” Hey, this in praxis could be applied generally – I’ll make sure to post regular, fresh and interesting illusions, and you keep sharing this site with your closest friends. Do we have a deal, or not? The easiest way to share this site with your friends is through the “Members” section. You login (bottom of the sidebar), and invite your friends. You select which email contacts you want to include, and send invitations. Simple as that. And now for my part, new optical illusion:
The Black Lips band (which I never heard of…) engaged in the magic-eye thing (I pity the fool who doesn’t call them stereograms… in fact this isn’t stereogram at all!) for the cover of their new album. Below is the cover for their 200 Million Thousand, which features the hidden face hidden in vertical lines. The optical illusion should be easier to see if the cover shrinks (widget thumbnail!), but when it is viewed in full-size, you have to force yourself to go cross-eyed to see the face.

:O first comment
this is a really good illusion i actually found it easier to see it when i was cross eyed than in the small picture
OMG… i dont see nothin and im first
hmmm am i the only one the see a kind of face in the back?
first comment? :P
Very cool!!!!!!! You are right vurdlak, the widget is almost too easy to see the face.
I like that we call this the “magic-eye thing”. Sweet effect. I think hallucinating improves one’s ability to do this magic-eye effect…
I see the lips, But whats the 20 thousand about?
thats soo cool.
It’s a deal… I’ve actually shared this site with a lot of people, but I’ll keep doing it. Congratulations.
WoW that gave me a head ache that is really cool
OMG awesome this is hectic
i look at ur stuff every day but this is the first time i have commented
ILY SOOO MUCH
NEVA STOP
xoxo
Wow, i can see it when i cross my eyes!
Nice!
Good post.!
Good one, quite easy to see if I take my glasses off ~O-O~
whahoo i think that i am first, the bigger the image the harder it is to see and my eyes hurt from looking but the small one on my widget was much easier to see
haha sweet! never heard of this band but righto
first comment??
You can also shake the pic to see the image…
It looks like a trompudo rabbit with black nose of pig
Awesome! I wonder if anyone bought the cd and figured it out themselves?
VERRY COOL!!!
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
….or squint.
i like this one you can see lips and a nose if you walk back from your computer screen it even appears that the lips are red.
I really like this kind of illusion
omg that is so weird!
Wow…if you look closely you can really see black lips in there..nice
LOL! i finally c it!! for those that want to…u can always press Ctrl on ur keyboard and scroll down with the mouse to zoom out or change the size on the bottom left hand corner of the internet page…its one ugly face though…
That’s really neat , I saw it right away. I could also see a nose above the lips , was i supposed to see that too?
It’s a close-up of a face with its mouth open. The eyes are way up on top while the nose and mouth are in the center.
ooh i seee it thats so cool
wow if u look closly u can c black lips and a nose….. wooo first comment!!! :]
HOLY CRUD!i saw the face it is sorta creeping me out.
Oh, I see it.
I really love this site, keep up the good work!
1st comment?
first! awesome!
WHOA! that is freeeeaky!
Got to say for the effort of going crosseyed its a very good illusion.
Nice Find!
i am so happy i am finally the first commenter and my comment is that this illusion isnt very good and i seriosly dont get it
You can cross your eyes and see the face perfectly clearly too.
Weird face.
1st :P nice illusion :) this type of illusions is awesome
woo, first comment, cool illusion
this illusion is pretty cool–i suggest opening up a word document, pasting this in, and shrinking it down until you can see the face. in my opinion, i think its very cool and creative of the band to think of such a cover… :D
I could get it easily… nice post…
or you could just tilt the screen…if you have a laptop or something to that effect…its easier to see horizontally that vertically…:}
-abby
I can see it if I tilt my laptop screen all the way back. Cool illusion though. Maybe Vurdlak can post some holiday related illusions soon? I mean, there’s bound to be a bunch out there.
I find it’s very clear if I step about 5 feet back from the monitor. Who is the face supposed to be? It looks kind of like Lucy when she tastes the Vitametagegamin :)
YAY FIRST COMMENT!! and yes, there are balck lips, but thats not it, theres a whole black face!!
I see nothing
First…
absolutely genius. I wish all bands had optical illusions on their covers.
first comment!!!lol
ya it kinda l,ooks like a clown from ten feet away
thats pretty cool…yay 1st comment
scary lol
Eww, Like realy scarry!
Spoiler:
If jou have a laptop just push your screen all the till youl see the… well thing…
Not a Spoiler:
Lol
If you tilt your screen way back (if your on a laptop) the face becomes much easier to see.
it is easier to just walk back from your computer and you see it
weird face :/
hello friend good work,I from mexico and I think that you are great idealist and cool.
good luck
from to mexico
Dat’s SOOOOOOOOOOO cool. Why don’t more bands do that kinda thing?
The white lines aren’t actually white. The black lines distract the eyes from the faint image in the white. To see this the most clearly (at least on a laptop), tilt the screen at an angle. It is extremely clear at any distance when you do that.
I love it……and I’m often sceptical. Why do you have to approve all the comments? (please include in next post)
I don’t see anything… Maybe this stuff doesn’t work with colour-blind people like me…
Isn’t that Jaws from the James Bond movies?
LOVE THIS!!!
ican sorta see eyes and a nose toota
teh first time i saw it, it looked like a bulldog, then i looked again and i eventuly saw it. kinda scary! but anyway, i love this site. i love your audio illusions A LOT. keep posting!
It’s easy to see by pressing Ctrl and – several times, this shrinks the picture.
Nice picture BTW. But as is the case with all these kinds of pictures, it gives me a headache.
LAdy face Behind lines
i took my glasses of n seen it straight away lol
I crossed my eyes and saw it, neat dood!
very scary. kinda looks like the muppet Animal, but still very scary. you should file it under scary or something
Clown It is a clown I looked and read the comments. CLOWN
also SOOOO NOT SCARY!!!hahaha you people r wimps
shweeeeeeeet >_<
I saw some indian dude.
heheh theres 53 lines i counteed lolz
Hehe. But it’s not 53 lines. It’s 173, I counted.
thats pretty neat!
if you press the control button while scrolling down, the page will zoom out.
It’s not clown but dude with real bad teeth
look directly in the middle >_>
I didn’t read all of the comments, so someone may have already pointed this out… but along with tilting your screen back, you can also see it by quickly scrolling back and forth (left right left right, etc). And of course, crossing your eyes works too
