Headhunter Shadow Art{2 comments}

Shadow art can be a tricky but very creative ay to create something amazing out of rubbish. This Headhunter illusions was sent to me a few weeks ago and has been sitting on my desktop for a few weeks as i have finally had the time to post it. I’m not sure ho the author is but its incredibly similar to the shadow art by Tim Noble and Sue Webber.  You may also want to check out the shadow heads but some of my favorites are the zebra and camel shadows shot national geographic.

The Invisible Man Optical Illusion{14 comments}

The Invisible man is a specular optical illusion. Unlike the original invisible man this guy actually painted himself using body paint to match his surrounding. The first one below is one of my favorites, at a glance you would completely miss him! Be sure to also check out the other body paint invisible man.  If you want to spice it up check out the body paint bikini or the nude body paint. Enjoy!

Elevators can make great canvas’s for creating optical illusion art. In the past we have posted some such as the kill bill elevator, golds gym ad and even a bottomless elevator! The best part about illusion with elevators is that they are always moving and changing. Below are some creative ads for everything from Bacel, Fait and superman. If only every elevator had a cleaver ad, It would be kind fun!  Enjoy

Wrong Job Illusion{5 comments}

Ever considered your self in the wrong job? With the economy a lot of people may not be doing the right job for them. Jobsintown.de is an employment company that’s has conjured up some very creative advertisements.  Playing the gituar inside a jukebox would be pretty cramped but hey im sure its better then scrubbing clothes inside a washing machine. For some of Jobsintowns other illusion ads check out the wrong job gas pump or the coffee machine illusion. After seeing all these ‘wrong jobs’ maybe your job must just seem a little more appealing :)

Bizarre Bus Stops{5 comments}

Bus stops are generally pretty plain and boring, but every once in a while you find some pretty creative versions. Below is a collection if some bizarre bus stops from arround the world.  A quick apology for my site being down the other day, my host decided to suspend it due to a surge traffic killing the server.. but it should be good now! Back to the bus stops, ever waited inside a giant strawberry? How about one made of leds or a soccer net? Well check out some of the spectacular bust stop creations below.

Bus stop of buses,  this is a creative use for some old school buses! some art student must of got an A for this funky stop.

This spectacular creation is a giant flowing piece of concrete created by Justo Garcia Rubio from Casar de Caceres in Spain.

Digital Art comes to live with this interactive bus stop. Located in Paris as part of the smart mobilities project. While waiting for the bus you can play with an interactive screen while bypasses can admire your live art work on a six foot led wall built onto the back of the digital bus stop.

How about this for luxury, this is the first air conditioned bus stop i have ever seen. This luxurious bus stop is located in Dubai, home of lots and lots of oil wealth.

London knows how to do things right! Local artist Bruno Taylor has starting building swing bus stops! now everyone can squeeze in alittle play time.

Life is a melon, at least in japan.

Soccer fans would love this sports styled bus stop.  Soccer or Football nets were places all around Brazil as part of the world cup promotions.

Flaming Streets of chalk{15 comments}

Well i know 3D Chalk Drawings are one of my all time favorites when it comes to optical illusions. These new 3d flaming streets chalk art  is a new twist  on the 3d street waterfall.  It really would be a challenge to draw these perspective drawings, looking from it from any side angles would give you the impression of some warped skewed blurb of chalk. Im not sure who to give credit to for this masterpiece but its defiantly one of the more extreme creations. If anyone knows who created this masterpiece then let me know.. if not well then I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

MADD Anti Drinking and Driving Ad{1 comment}

MADD aka Mothers Against Drunk Driving have always been good at finding cleaver ways to promote their anti drinking and driving campaigns. Another almost shocking anti drinking and driving ad is the 3D drinking and driving bathroom sticker ad. The Ad below uses a poster of a car that skidded out and crashed into the urinal, with just some pre printed skid marks and a bit of crinkled paper this ad gave me a chuckle yet still manages to make a good point! So remember boys and girls, don’t drink and drive.

Rejoice Comb Billboard{3 comments}

Rejoice Comb Billboard is a creative new design that is defiantly going to catch some attention. The billboard reads “Tangles? Switch to Rejoice Conditioner”. The ad itself is a great way to drive the point of de-tangling, especially with that rat nest of power lines. I sure hope that sign isnt conductive :) For some other cool billboards check out the Lord of the Rings edition.
