Optical illusion

This one's good. Click on the thumbnail below to see the fullsize, operational version (232K).


Stu Rubinow says that the illusion was done, or at least posted on the Web, by Akiyoshi Itaoka. Amazing. (Thanks, Stu!)

I went all the way down into the middle of one of those things once, just to see the bottom. There was a French girl there, who said she knew about my debutante. She said "Your debutante knows what you need, but I know what you want."

This illusion was created (or at least posted on the Web) by Akiyoshi Itaoka. There are many more of his illusions here

Not all the illusions work for me, but they're fun to look at.

I think its just the computer doing that because i printed it out and it did nothing.

I printed this illusion out in color and it still had the same effect even when printed on paper.

I found many spontaneously occurring optical illusions on this page:
