Tom French’s Skull Obsession

(60 votes)

Why is it that romance and death go so well together in art? Perhaps it’s the idea that true love is eternal, which means that even in death the lovers will stay together. Or, maybe it’s because death will eventually conquer any romance, no matter how powerful. Maybe it’s that true love will lead us [...]

Heading Down The Rabbit Hole…

If one pill makes you larger and another one makes you small, then someone must have been quite busy distributing those pills to the following photographers.

(70 votes)

Unless you’re Spiderman, hanging off  the side of a building can be rather exhausting and crawling or walking along its facade are even more impossible.

The best thing about a library is that when you’re done reading one book, you can just trade it in for another. This way, you never have to run out of new titles to enjoy and you never have to pay a cent for the privilege of borrowing a book – provided you return your [...]

That Caterpillar Keeps Chirping

(124 votes)

Just look at that cute, fuzzy little caterpillar. It has such vibrant colors and those spines seem so unintimidating that they’re mere existence is actually kind of adorable. But, wait a minute… we are on Mighty Optical Illusions blog! An ordinary picture of a caterpillar (no matter how cute it is), would just be weird [...]
