Greg Grease Lehman, owner of a relatively famous tattoo shop, and our regular submitter just pointed out that our previously posted optical illusion called Color Tiles Illusion had another interesting aspect. This was his email: “Hello Vurdlak, I was looking at your COLOR TILE ILLUSION. I believe the illusion works this way. The center brown [...]

Sometimes we need few old school illusions to lift the spirit of our community. I noticed some of you like real-life ones better, and some acknowledge only hard core old school illusions as true ones. Which ones should I concentrate more on? Since I’m not really sure which ones you prefer, I’m posting them mixed. [...]
