Welcome to 2009!


Drinking is overrated. Times Square is for tourists. And fireworks require you to be out in the cold. But these retinal bongs will propel you right into the New Year--and except for the bottom-most image, all the movement is in your brain.

(If you're nursing a hangover, you may want to return when your head stops hurting.)

There is no way this last image isn't animated! Very funny.
Love these.

Lynn,
Yes, that last one is indeed actually moving. But the others, no. Interesting isn't it: That even though we are visually sophisticated presumably we still see the same optical stuff that the Kincaid and Hallmark folks do.

Ow! And I haven't even started drinking yet!

Cheers!

Hey, thanks!

Martin, I'm going to miss "Organic Geometry." I'm in Massachusetts until mid month. I love the title, and the gallery images look good. Time to dust off my mantra for the new year: I can't see everything.

Oly, thanks for the kind words. This is some addictive stuff, this blogging.

WOW! What a treat for New Year-- thanks Joanne for posting these. I'm usually not prone to the optical illusion but these really got me!
Happy '09,
Mel
