As we didn’t have much anamorphoses lately, let me show you some of the latest works by Jonty Hurwitz. This whole trend started with #Salvador Dali, where back in the old days, artists had to make all of the necessary calculations on their own, for the anamorphic image to reflect properly. Sometimes they even painted on [...]

When I woke up this morning and opened my mailbox I saw a dozen of submissions containing the very same link pointing to brusspup’s YouTube channel – I was immediately aware something important was happening. Boy was I right! After seeing this video for the first time I couldn’t believe my eyes. I played it [...]

If you approach from the left hand side, you’ll instead be left wondering “where’s this chair he promised me, and what’s up with all these weird black lines?” That’s because the artist’s [...]

Even if you stare at it long enough without tilting it, you’ll eventually see the aliens, but I doubt you’d really [...]

We’ve seen hundreds of ultra-realistic chalk drawings by now. Over the years artists have truly mastered their craft, pushing the boundaries and making their results more realistic by each iteration. In my opinion, today’s featured illusion has pushed the boundaries even further -by replacing the “chalk” part in “3D chalk drawings” with actual flora (and [...]

We’ve featured tons of 3D chalk drawings on the site before, but what makes this one particularly special isn’t the subject matter (although Mouse Trap is a great choice), but the awesome video of the masterpiece being completed. The lead artist behind this work is Tracy Lee Stum, who happens to hold a Guinness World [...]
