Tape Art Illusions

(8 votes)

Got this photo collection of from a visitor whose contact I have lost, so no additional info can be provided except that all of the amazing portraits were made by sticking small pieces of tape one over another. The more layers author attached one over another, the darker was the shade he achieved. It struggles [...]

Chain Wine Bottle Holder Illusion

(9 votes)

Here and there, a piece of furniture or something useful takes a shape of optical illusion. We had an interesting idea for a lamp recently, and this time I bring you something completely original.

Mosaic Pools Optical Illusion

(21 votes)

Wow! Can’t believe I haven’t reported this one yet. Apparently the work you see below is in a way similar to Julian Beever’s artistic sidewalk drawings, only with one exception – it’s done with mosaic technique (when the artist creates an image out of many small different colored tiles).

Anyone has an idea how we can bring more visitors to our community? Anyway, thats my problem, and nothing to concern [...]

Fruit Man’s Family Illusion

(5 votes)

Remember our original Fruit Man illusion? Well, thanks to our commentators, more precisely Juan Luis Roldán, we found out that the original fruit man was created by French artist called André Martins de Barros. I’m not exactly sure whether these 3 posters were also created by Barros, but the style sure looks familiar. Artem sent [...]

Pac-Man Art Illusions

Consider this post more of an unusual art installation, than true optical illusion. Well, this Pac-man skull you see on the right was created by artist Le Gentil Garçon titled “PacMan’s skeleton”. There are few more interesting photos inside this post, and I’m sure you would’ve guessed what they represent, even if I didn’t explain [...]
