I know, I know… we already had bunch of similar “Caught in The Moment” type of optical illusions. Still, I can’t resist posting them. What I like most about this stuff, is the circumstances these photos were taken at. There was no intention to create an optical illusion, yet the results speak for themselves. The [...]

Alexa Meade - Hyper-Realistic Optical Illusion 1

When Suzanne Green pointed me to this gallery, at first I thought “Nothing special, must be Photoshopped“. But Alexa Meade is an artist who thinks completely backwards! Most artists use acrylic paints to create portraits of people on canvas, while Alexa applied acrylic paints on her subjects, and made them appear to be part of [...]

Lifting a Rubber Tank Optical Illusion

I’ve stumbled upon an interesting WWII article about “Ghost Army“, an invisible army, operating in obscurity, mastering the arts of illusion, deception, and disinformation to defeat the Nazis in World War II. Something very similar you’ve already seen in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastardz. This top-secret unit, so highly classified that its very existence was denied [...]

Since I’m in a hurry right now, I’ll just post a quick relative sizes picture today. Nothing we haven’t already seen. Well, there was a slight modification, though. Normally, we’re used seeing this type of illusions, where further object seemed bigger than the closer one. In reality they were both the same size. I modified [...]

Your brain would simply prevent it from fooling you. However, I think it’s great example of creative advertising. Not only did it catch my attention, it became viral around the net as well. [...]

Few days ago I posted an introduction to Patrick Hughes’ Reverse Perspectives. In my opinion his creations add important value to modern art, and more important for us – enrich optical illusions field. As you have noted (and I share your view), previous video didn’t do justice to Patrick Hughes’ opus. It was shaky, and [...]

I have prepared a little longer article than usual for today, but if you have nerves going through it (specially if you are a kid or have one), I believe you will learn something worth knowing. So let’s begin – take a cup of coffee, sit back in your favorite easy chair and we are [...]

Paradoxymoron Painting Illusion by Patrick Hughes

Boy, we had some serious trouble with our server yesterday, but more on that after the illusion (like we agreed here). Today’s video gives just a glimpse of Patrick Hughes doozy artwork. You have to see this video to believe it! As the camera pans different angles of the piece, walls seem to fly out, [...]
