Tape Art Illusions

Got this photo collection of from a visitor whose contact I have lost, so no additional info can be provided except that all of the amazing portraits were made by sticking small pieces of tape one over another. The more layers author attached one over another, the darker was the shade he achieved. It struggles me how detailed all of the portraits are, and it must have taken ages and great amount of concentration (and talent!) to create something as interesting as this. Am not sure if this belongs to this site’s theme, but the photos immediately reminded me of Barcode Art post, and Scarface Poster Illusion that we already covered in the past. If we got those to pass the audience criteria, you’ll probably like this one as well!

  1. OMG ZORZ
    Thats rediculous

    i have done tape projects myself (wallets samurais the like)
    but the play with the thicknesses with light is unbelievable. i wonder how much time it would take to layer all of that.

    kind of tape? anyone?

    wow

  2. Wow! These are some of the coolest things I’ve seen on this site! My favorite is the one second from the bottom. It looks like a picture taken of ghosts at some old haunted hotel. Awesome!

  3. wow, these are really cool
    is it tinted tape that he uses b/c i can’t see how he could do it with regular transparent tape

  4. It never ceases to boggle my mind how talented and creative some people are. I certainly did not get the creative gene. Maybe not a true illusion, but an interesting group of pictures. Keep up the wonderful work you do for our enjoyment.

  5. Hmmm. Can this truly be called an ‘illusion?’ After all, every image is made of up tiny, dicrete units of color/tone.

  6. This is wonderful!
    I love it, and yes, I think this sure belongs on this site. It is a little like those shadow-pictures you once showed us. It is unbelieveble how someone can make beautiful art like this with quite big pieces of TAPE!

  7. thats really cool. i wonder if they pictures were actually made from tape or if its just an illusion that the artist made….oh wait. this is an illusion site so it must be an illusion. haha :)

  8. in the second and third.. there are things that seem like figures of people… not that this is an illusion. but some things look like ppl

  9. wow, thats pretty gud. who thought there could me more than twelve uses for tape?

    keep up the great work

  10. This is probably what would have happened if Claude Monet had turned in his paint palette for a roll of tape.

    In other words: post-impressionism!
