So, finally I have collected enough new Moon optical illusions to justify posting them as a collection. Individually posting each one, wouldn’t make sense any more. Agree? Even though the idea isn’t something we haven’t already seen before (through relative sizes category), still each photo uses the Moon as an illusion in a slightly different [...]

John Colorado sent me this photo he took recently. It took me few seconds before I spot the optical illusion in it, but then was really amazed by the result. Let’s give John opportunity to explain himself: “Hi, here’s my picture, taken in the New Jersey. My name is John Anderson Colorado and I live [...]

How many wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck would chuck wood? No, I ‘m not talking nonsense, this illusion below simply reminded me of Guybrush Treepwood. For those of you who don’t know Guybrush, hurry and download Monkey Island off from somewhere! Meanwhile, me and the rest will marvel this amazing wood sculpture [...]

Originaly titled “Human Statue of Liberty”, this image was taken at Camp Dodge in Iowa and used eighteen thousand men. I collected bunch more and added them to the set. Luke also asked all of as a question. Here it [...]

Once again I have received huge set of Transparent LP optical illusions. As you may recall, we often post illusions that belong to so called “Transparent Faces” Category. The idea is trivial, but the results are often more than interesting!
I don’t have to say much about this submission, since image itself is worth thousand of [...]

So I went to cinema the other day, and we saw Cloverfield. We picked the movie by accident, and funny coincidence is that I posted an illusion poster related to it few days ago. I really liked the flick, but the open-end, without any background explanation puzzles me. Anyone has info how the monster came [...]

Impossible structures were mostly popularized by M.C.Escher, and since then many artists try to match his genius. Some manage to get close, while others create their own visions of impossible structures only influenced by Escher. From recently, there are even real life 3D models that look impossible from certain point of view. While they obey [...]

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). We had some optical illusion mosaics [...]

These photos were laying on my hard disk for some time now. I never considered them best optical illusions in town, but when I came with the idea to include them all as a set, I finally found them interesting enough. When you open this article, you’ll see six photos with dominating smiley face in [...]

Ola! Impossible objects in real life were always one of my favorite structure illusions. I enjoy seeing them around me, which I actually don’t, since nothing interesting concerning optical illusions is happening in my neighborhood. Anyone knows where this strange arch is located? Never-Neverland, Sweden,…?
Anyhow, you probably noticed I’m huuugely uninspired today, so if you [...]
