This Unique New Bookstore is Filled With Optical Illusions

A new bookstore has recently opened in Hangzhou, China, and the inside is kind of amazing to see.

Incredible Body Painting Optical Illusions

Amazingly, these mind-bending optical illusions aren’t made with the help of projections or Photoshop. Artist Natalie Fletcher painted them directly on human skin! The Oregon-based body painter created this impressive series completely freehanded with an airbrush. She calls it Just an Illusion, and the “canvases” feature bright base colors of fuchsia, cyan, green, and yellow. Black contour lines help fool our eye into thinking that parts of a torso are popping out at us.
