For anyone who enjoys looking at quality illustration work, and particularly for fans of 3d optical illusions, this post should be a treat. I don’t know much about the following set of pictures, except they were drawn by an artist called Fredo (as noted by the watermarked signature), and … well, they’re awesome.

 

 

 

Someone sent me these pictures a few months ago through one of those pesky – but occasionally admittedly interesting – chain e-mail messages. As usual there wasn’t much information available regarding the author, or no back-story whatsoever (which I happen to enjoy reading). So for a while these have been rotting away a a possible future post, until more information would be available.

 

 

 

I didn’t find that information, but today I cave very close to accidentally deleting the pictures. So … what the hey, might as well post them before they’re forgotten. Mental note: come back and update this post with relevant information, if possible. Maybe anyone reading this entry can provide some extra factual tidbits via comments, to go along with the gallery?
