Reflection Illusions

Aren't these interesting? For a moment, the world seems up side down.

Mind Bending Illusions

Are the horizontal lines parallel or do they slope? Are the beans really moving? Count the black dots! Are the squares equal sizes? Or not? Seriously, How long can you look at these without going crazy?

Cool Illusions

Here are some unusual illusions painted directly on walls and floors to create this amazing 3D effect.

Western and Fantasy Art by Donald Rust

Rust's ability to capture nature lies between fantasy and reality. Realism is his style, but he wants to take the collector's imagination one step further. His paintings hang in the Ringling Museum of the Circus, Sarasota, Florida, the Norman Rockwell Museum, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and the National Portrait Gallery of the Smithsonian Institution, Washington D.C.

Find the man in the coffee beans!

find the face, originally uploaded by Shirley Two Feathers. This is bizarre -- after you find the guy -- it's so obvious. Once you find him -- it's embarrassing, and you think, Why didn't I see him immediately? Doctors have concluded that if you find the man in the coffee beans in 3 seconds, the right half of your brain is better developed than most people. If you find the man between 3 seconds and 1 minute, the right half of the brain is developed normally. If you find the man between 1 minute and 3 minutes, then the right half of your brain is functioning slowly and you need to eat more protein. If you have not found the man after 3 minutes, the advice is to look for more of this type of exercise to make that part of the brain stronger!!! And, yes, the man is really there!!!

Some Interesting Illusions

This looks a lot like a picture of vehicle, a Freelander to be exact. Instead, it's a picture of a line of Maasai warriors. A nifty illusion, not too surprising, but nifty nonetheless. Here's another one: Looks like a pixelated image of Abraham Lincoln when viewed small... but when enlarged, it's something totally different: Ok, so yeah, I know nothing really earth shatteringly cool as yet. So, how about this portrait of the artist Dali? This one is kind of tricky. Once you see the self portrait, it's a little harder to adjust your vision so you can see the alternative image in the picture. But here is my favorite one. It's George W. Bush, our illustrious president. And on closer inspection, you can see his portrait is made up of monkeys swimming in a marsh. Appropriate, huh? What makes it even more fun is that at the end of 2004, this painting was world news. It was shown around the globe in newspapers and on TV. Why ? It was in the news because the (art) show's organizer was threatened : "You need to take down this show today, otherwise we're seizing the art and you're going to get arrested." LOL.

The Art of Illusion

Pretty cool, huh?

Hand Painted

Guido Daniele's Hand Painting Art is amazing, isn't it?

An Unusual Nativity Scene

Isn't this cool?

How many deer do you see?

This one is so easy that it's hard. I actually spent 10 minutes looking just to be sure that I had them all. LOL.

Cool and Surreal

The amazing art of Rob Gonsalves... Enjoy!
