Lio by Mark Tatulli for January 11, 2013

One of my favorites, often featured in Mad Magazine.

The Mad Poiuyt!!

Escher would be proud!

Next, Lio will surprise even Escher by picking up the fork.

Mad claimed it, but didn’t invent it.

Wha…? Oh! Escher always sneaks up on me like that.

I went to a Mike Oldfield concert back in the eighties and the background film featured loads of these eye twisting graphics. All animated and very cleverly done.

Lio is so far ahead of his classmates!

I’ve always loved obstacle illusions

My brain just blew up looking at that. Too early in the morning for optical illusions.

next up…the never ending staircase

Puts me in mind of a certain fellah and his crayon.

Nice optional allusion.

I used to draw those all over the place in school. That and mushrooms were all I was able to draw.

Hey, I see someone drawing Marigold Heavenly Nostrils~lol!

?

More conventionally called a blivet.

Great drawing Lio!

it’s only an illusion if your mind isn’t already illuminated.Are You Experienced?

Here’s a scary thought. I have the MAD issue with the poiuyt AND the Tubular Bells album. Whatanerd.

M. C. Lio

“i love Oldfields “Tubular Bells””-I do too.

“EscherSketch”-Waaaay too clever!

Optical impossibilites ROCK!
