Book Description
A collection of some of the craziest, mind-bending, and entertaining images on the web. Women with four arms, children who walk on water, pigeons the size of ten-story buildings—though we know these things aren’t possible in the real world, a quick glimpse at the right photograph may temporary convince you otherwise. Steven Estep, one of the brains behind the popular visual illusion website, MOIllusions.com, understands how these eye tricks work better than most. In Mighty Optical Illusions, Estep presents more than two hundred photographs, drawings, sculptures, and paintings that may make you scratch your head, squint your eyes, and doubt yourself. These images are known as optical illusions—items that deceive the eye by appearing to be other than they really are. The illusions in this collection include 3-D chalk drawings, billboards, body paintings, color adaptations, murals, sculptures, stereograms, sketches, and designs by some of the most progressive and well-known illusionists in the industry, including: Andreas Aronsson Frankynata Tedjosantoso Jennifer Townley Josh Stacy Leon Keer Mark Grenier Mark Talbot Richard Contreras Tabi Ferguson Terence Rosoman And more! Optical illusions—whether they are scary, dizzying, confusing, or tricky—can provide hours of fun and entertainment for the whole family.

Book Description
The metamorphic skull has always been one of the most popular optical illusions. From the 19th century, artists and designers have been using this kind of image in postcards, comics, advertisements or covers. In this book we are showing more than fifty examples of this kind of illusion. Many skull illusion postcards were published in the first decades of the 20th century, most of them included in the book. Skull illusions have also been used for all kinds of graphic works. There are numerous examples of pulp magazine covers, satiric posters and, in the last years, cd covers or movie posters which show them. Lots of contemporary artists, some of them present in this book, have also worked with these illusions.

Book Description
Seeing shouldn't always be believing... It all depends on how you look at it--every one of these drawings has a built-in "deception." For example, in this picture how many cubes are there: 7 or 8? Count again: if you're focusing on the black tops, you'll come up with 8, but if your eye is on the white bottoms, you'll find 7 cubes. Some images show two things in one, others confound your perception so you won't be able to judge size, and still more seem to sparkle and pulse. You won't be able to take your eyes off them! 96 pages, 86 b/w illus., 4 x 5.
