Some absolutely stunning photoshop work by Christophe Huet. Best of all his website (actually a flash site with music which doesn’t make me recoil in horror) has a ‘making of’ timeline for about half of his works, so you can trace back to the image’s mundane beginnings.

This is a really well presented video detailing some various optical illusions, and animating them to help the explanation.

These are some incredibly intricate drawings by Mary O’Malley.
I draw inspiration from the unpredictable and wild side of nature, combined with a hybrid of images from many sources- botanical illustration, microscopic scientific imagery, the Baroque, Victorian decorative arts, architecture, textile patterns, etc. These diverse elements come together to create an imaginary landscape of fecund abundance.

Integral Lens‘ classic Broken Camera photoset, containing many weird psychedelic images like this one. There is also a video explaining the broken camera shooting process.
Shame the size of the images appears to be broken too…this is as big as they get

This is the result of a challenge given to several teams taking part in a typographic workshop during the Dutch Design Week last month.
Take one long piece of material, and make letters by endlessly folding the material. Material can be anything. Create a strong, outspoken, unique style. Once you have found your specific visual style of lettering, go to the city, pick one location, and create a large scale zigzag lettering and make passerby’s hallucinate.
There are some interesting results, although this one is clearly the best.
