Uniquely Painted European Trucks

Look at these illusions that would definitely put me into a car accident if I saw it from the exact angle. :)









At first, I thought these were actual images taken of trucks driving on the road but then noticed that the background setting was the same for all of them and the angle in which the truck was taken was exactly the same. I thought it was just a student trying to play with pictures and decided to study more.
To my surprise, these are actually real designs considered in a competition sponsored by RollAd. the winner of the competition would get there digital mock-ups onto a real driving truck.

The winners of the competition are shown below.

Art Headlines, Mistake or Double Meanings?

So I just received some illusions I noticed through text. It was fascinating reading these headlines. Most of the headlines I read, it felt as though it made sense until I read the comment right below the headline. I'm sure many of these are pure mistakes even though I feel the commenter shows how to make something mean something completely different. It kind of reminds me of Jay Leno when he shows mistakes in publications I believe Tuesday nights.


Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn't you say?
(You're so right)


Man Kills Self Before Shooting Wife and Daughter
This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.



I just couldn't help but sending this along. Too funny.

Finger Paint





This is unbelievable. See the artwork this artist did in the artist's idea of finger painting. Just take a look at the fourth painting of the eagle. It took the artist over 10 hours to paint. I think it looks exhautic and is exciting to look at, but I loose taste quickly as I scroll through the images. I think it is amazing to see such talent. I couldn't sit down and spend hours on a painting that would get washed off over night.

Double Imaged Paintings?


Take a look at this image. Is there three pillars or two? Also, where does the middle column end. I found this image along with many others at http://www.reallywarped.com/CoolArt.htm. Some of the images I have seen in school by guest speakers. Some of these illusions make me wonder whether the artist tried to make them appear as an illusion or whether they drew a particular picture or graphic and noticed strange patterns in illusions after creating the picture.
