Drawings don’t have to be on a grand scale to bend your mind. Optical illusions can be manipulated in tons of ways, and this guy gets it. The artist’s name is Nagai Hideyuki, and his drawings all but jump out of his sketchbook. I always love twists on the idea of an optical illusion because art is at its best when it demands your undivided attention. And I just can’t stop looking at these. Check it out. 

 

The best part about these drawings is that the artist is just getting started. A 21-year-old from Japan, Hideyuki already has a large body of work. See more of his 3D drawings in the gallery, and check out his deviantART site for more mind-bending art. [via visualnews]
