Optical Illusion Artwork

As a kid I had a lot of fun with activity and game books with puzzles and optical illusions. I'm sure everyone has seen this classic:


Is it a vase or two faces?

To me these two pieces by ilovedoodle on Etsy have that same playful relationship with the negative and positive space. Charming illustrations and clever!

I can't stop looking at these amazingly beautiful embroidered book covers for 3 Penguin Classics books. Jillian Tamaki does beautiful work!

Book Art of Isaac Salazar



So creative! Folding pages to create words - book art from Isaac Salazar.

In need of a good laugh? That Isn't Art sarcastically pokes fun at typography and photography.
