Sandro Del Prete - Crusader Optical Illusion

We’ve been posting Sandro Del Prete’s optical illusion artworks for as long as I can remember. Unfortunately he was never properly credited for those mega popular illusions he created.

Remember Josh Sommers? He was the artist that created all the impossible CG object (Part I and Part II), and those marvelous Escheresques (Part I). The name for this article is Escheresques as well (Part II). The name stands as a tribute to optical illusion master M.C. Escher. These images were all done with help [...]

Hey everybody! I found an interesting artist on flickr, and have to admit am really amazed by all of his artwork. Most of the photos he shares are edited in photoshop, but the illusion they produce is usually independent from the digital manipulation. It amazed me when I found out he is the author of [...]

M.C. Escher’s “Curl-up” is one of his imaginative fantastic creatures.

This impossible scaffolding sent in by Maria Percascu really looks weird. Can you solve the mystery behind this Escher-inspired construction? We didn’t have that much Escher art over the last few weeks, but this one really redeems that. Immediately I remembered our impossible dice triangle, and figured picture this real couldn’t be photoshopped. Then [...]

Close friend of mine gave me this animation. It’s quite obvious the author was heavily influenced by M.C. Escher, more specifically by his Ascending Staircase Castle and Waterfall Illusion. We all know in real world, this could never work. The same way forever-dream of scientists, Perpetuum Mobile can’t exist due to existing rules of physics. [...]

Siddharth A Deshpande sent some more interesting illusions. Check the photos inside this article - It is well known technique, that occurred first time in famous cocoa packaging from Dutch Droste company. I blogged about it few times, and even posted few droste effect video clips. One of our readers also created Stillwater Reservoir with [...]

I covered many famous drawings and woodcuts done by Netherlands’s celebrity - M.C Escher. If you missed it somehow, aside being mathematician, he was one of the world’s most famous graphic artists. You may recall posts showing his Ascending and Descending, Moebious ring, his famous impossible waterfall and off course, one of his best works [...]

I found this picture while searching for some funny t-shirts yesterday. What was cool, is that few hours later I received two emails from people that are in no way connected, suggesting this same cowboy picture to be put up on the site. Their names are Craig Bowser and Adam Cline. It’s amazing how similar [...]
