Bobby Towe took this optical illusion picture a couple of years ago and titled it Spirit of The Woods and Water. The photo surely needs no additional explaining! I noticed however, that people tend to see all sort of things anywhere around them. We get bunch of such submissions, yet only fraction of them turn [...]

Being so illusion-concentrated, I sometimes tend to forget about real-life manners, thus “successfully” overlooked the fact there were holidays I should have mentioned and congratulated upon. Not to mention how nicely it would be if I temporarily re-designed our homepage and logo to reflect the snowy and Santa-Claus atmosphere… I apologize for that, mostly because [...]

By now we have all learned that faces are more difficult to recognize when they’re upside-down and that sometimes we misperceived the facial expressions of upside-down faces (as was shown in Margaret Thatcher Illusion). What I have prepared [...]

Going through my off-line illusion archive I have stumbled across an interesting painting created by Norman Parker. All odds are that last time I’ve seen it I overlooked the illusion it holds, thus decided there is nothing exceptional about his art.
