Optical Illusions by a Talented Artist

I am fascinated by optical illusions, even the ones that are sometimes frustrating to understand. Years ago, my husband to be (before he was my husband to be) gave me an M. C. Escher book and I still have it. I'm still fascinated. Below are some pavement paintings by artist Julian Beever. You may have seen his work elsewhere on the Internet. It's amazing, isn't it?



It's so hard to see that these are 2-dimensional images when I'm looking at them. Wonderful stuff. For more of Julian Beever's art, go to his website here. Make sure to click on the images to enlarge them.

So, which one was your favorite? I'm not sure I can decide. I do like the World image above, but the portable computer (on the website - not shown here) was pretty incredible, too.

Have a fantastic day!

  1. I love clever & these are most definitely that. Some people just have such a gift. I love the humour, whether intended or not.
