With his truly spectacular optical illusions, Brusspup is more of a magician than an artist — it’s all about the reveal.
In his latest video, the Youtube user with the tagline “Illusions and Science” forgoes his usual animated illusions for 3D drawings of household items.
From a certain angle, the Rubik’s Cube, blue roll of tape and a sneaker appear to be real. But when Brusspup turns the paper, the items that appear to be three-dimensional turn out to be meticulously crafted anamorphic art.
Warning: Don’t look at these photos without something delicious on hand to immediately consume. The pain will be too great.
Netherlands-born artist Tjalf Sparnaay has been creating jaw-dropping, mouth-watering photorealistic paintings since 1987. His meticulous renderings convey reality as convincingly as a photograph. The singed edges of a fried egg, the wilted lettuce in an over-dressed salad, the rogue crumbs of a ham sandwich… no detail goes ignored.

Edvard Munch’s iconic work, “The Scream,” broke a world record tonight, becoming the most expensive artwork sold in an auction.
Estimates for the sale varied from $80 million to $200 million. The artwork — which is not a painting but is pastel on board — ended up selling for $119,922,500, surpassing the previous record-holder, Picasso’s “Nude, Green Leaves, and Bust,” which sold for $106.5 million in 2010. Cezanne’s “The Card Players” has the honor of going for the highest price, period (meaning not at auction) — it was sold in a private sale to Qatar (yes, the country) for $250 million last year.
