I just received two emails from my dad (see ridiculously low-res photo below), who is famous for sending interesting and odd links, often of an optical nature (appropriate enough, since he works with optics). I thought I'd share these fun tidbits with you: Optical Illusion Site 1 and Site 2. (The Mona Lisa one seemed easy, but then again all that Art History coursework probably trained my eye pretty well.)
These reminded me a bit of some similar optical illusions at the ColorCube site. The color cube is a three-dimensional take on the color wheel, and this site offers the cube as an actual puzzle of plastic pieces that you construct to make your own nifty cube (see photo above). Dad bought me one my freshman year as an art major, and it's served as decoration for years in my dorm room, art studio, and now my home. If you're completely obssessed with color, as I am, then this is your toy.
