One of my favourite artists alongside Fernand Leger and Kasimir Malevich.

Love the techy style of Art, always found inspiration from the illustration part.

The image rises up 5mm on my screen as she turns. The shadow falls 5mm at the same time. Nothing special about that, the image was made to do that.

So what should I be looking at

it's one I've posted before. You can make the figure rotate in either direction. Looking at the feet is the easiest way I've found of reversing the direction.

The natural view of the figure rotating defines which half of your brain is dominant.

Alcohol is a briliant source for optical illusions>






Now, stare at the center of this circle. simply gaze into the cross in the center and try not to move.
if done right, the outer circles should appear to eventually fade or disappear completely. give it a try!>

Edit: Ooh strange, if I looked about an inch to the right of the picture then it goes clockwise, as soon as I look directly at it its back to anti clockwise.

Yep that works for me now.
