Just so that you know why there was a 2 day delay between illusions, the reason was my trip for vacation. By now I have accommodated myself at the island of Korcula, which will be my new blogging station for the next month or so. It took some time before I could set up the [...]

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. When I learned that he was the artist behind all those pieces of art, I’ve browsed through every each of his illusions from the past and [...]

It seems LEGO finally recognized impossible object illusions as another great (optical illusion) way to promote their product. I’d like to think their inspiration came of this website – specially Escher Style category, but it’s much more likely they stumbled upon some of Andrew Lipson’s work, instead. I liked LEGO very much back being a [...]

M.C. Escher’s “Curl-up” is one of his imaginative fantastic creatures. The note surrounding it gives strong support to the potential value of the curl-ups as a concept for an exploratory probe or perhaps a new generation of sophisticated off road vehicle. His “curl-up” creature came into existence because of the absence, of wheel shaped, [...]

I believe we’ve seen similar optical illusions on this site before. However it is really awesome, if you know how to look at it! Here is what I want you to do. First cover the upper half of the picture with your palm, and you’ll automatically assume that the window corner of this building is [...]

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 [...]
