Liquor in Street Art

Today I learned about another talented pavement artist, called Manfred Stader. We had few of his works posted on Mighty Optical Illusions over the years, but I didn’t have a clue Manfred was the artist behind those. So I carefully went through our 3D Chalk Drawings category, and updated belonging posts with correct tag. As you see, 3d street art has been in the spotlight of marketing agencies as of late. Specially for those orientated towards liquors and soda drinks. Manfred has closed some pretty huge marketing deals with major brands, including Jack Daniel’s. Below you can see some of his newest drawings that were done on a flat surface. Many of you requested I should post additional photos, showing 3d chalk drawings from different angle. Because I listen to all of your suggestions, I have included additional gallery beneath these photos, where you can see some of the paintings from opposite angle. Enjoy!

Ariel Stain Remover Optical Illusion.

As always, if you are into marketing, and would like your marketed product to gain as much attention possible, be creative! This is what I’m constantly promoting to my fellow marketers. Optical illusions contain just that special ingredient of design/mystery, thus helps numerous brands that decide to use them as part of their advertising. Check our Billboards section to see what I’m talking about! And no, (unfortunately) I’m not compensated for any of these posters I put on my site. The reason they’re hear is because nicely done optical illusions, are often manufactured by professional design companies, most of the time as byproduct of some advertising campaign. Still, the reason they get viral probably lies in the things I already mentioned. Just think about it – I believe Über-success story is when you YOUR AD goes VIRAL (equals = free marketing and branding)! For example, take a look at Ariel poster for their new stain removal product. They cleverly used one of the most recognized color adapting illusions, and got that WOW EFFECT for their ad. This isn’t the first time Ariel did something creative. More examples inside.

Ocean Ripple Optical Illusion

I received this peculiar photo back in January, which was sent to me by one of our fans. With your help, together we can solve the mystery behind it. What is so strange about it, you might ask. Well, some of you may see it as an ordinary photo, of what seems to be a simple column wall, surrounded by rippling water floating behind it. But many may see the columns differently. Some of my colleagues argued that the columns are themselves immersed in water, and that lower part of the column-wall is actually just a reflection on a fluid surface. What is it then? Few of you may even guess that the reflection is in fact part of the wall that can be seen through water surface. However, this solution is unacceptable for many reasons, but just to name one – simple physics shows us that water bends light, so if we were seeing what is below the surface, it would be bent in a way similar to this one.  Lets discuss this!

Cool Optical Illusion, Bro!

Ever seen something so dumb, that it’s actually good? If you don’t know what I’m talking about, you obviously missed Evil Dead trilogy, and haven’t seen a single SNL episode. Well, when I opened my mailbox to see some optical illusion trends, I was amazed to see how popular this photo became in such a short notice. It still bugs me, but I decided to share it with you! Could this instead be the most complex magic trick ever? I surely doubt so… Watch how this dude pulls an optical illusion, sort off.
