Billboard Chair-o-Plane
You know those theme parks rides where you sit in a swing and spin around? This isn’t one of those. It’s just a turning billboard, and some crazy “artists” who decided to make their own amusement park.
Anamorphic Drawings
Hungarian artist István Orosz takes anamorphic drawing to another level by hiding images that can only be seen with the help of a special reflective object in seemingly ordinary drawings.
