Just when I discovered this new Felice Varini’s ‘anamorphic illusion’ on Wooster Collective, reader called Steve submitted me the original BBC article about this optical illusion.

Being 100% honest, I’m not really sure if this optical illusion was already featured on the site. As you see Julian Beever is up his best, again.

If you jump inside this article you can see realistic lobster illustration, with additional photo from different point of view.

Loyal visitors of this websit already know that sometimes (better – always on this site ;) things aren’t what they appear to be. Here’s a case in point – the floor of this elevator is painted to give the illusion that there’s no floor at all. It’s a trompe l’oeil that’s realistic enough to convince [...]
