Now you see it, now you don’t. The Key principle of anamorphosis is a distorted perspective  that is only visible as intended from a unique point of view.
This technique date to early renaissance in the 15th century, you can find early examples of it on the ceilings of churches in Rome by artist like Andrea Pozzo. However the first known example of perspective anamorphosis is Leonardo’s Eye.
This post showcase the best of Felice Varini a Swiss artist nominated for the 2000/2001 Marcel Duchamp Price. He is well known for his edgy geometric anamorphic perspectives installations.Which I find gorgeous and really contemporary.

Weddings can be a fairy tale or a complete disaster. They can be bland and traditional or a courageous adventure under the sea. But what all of us have in clear is, that weddings are a huge milestone in our lives. (Unless you are a hollywood star and you are for your in 5th divorce).
As important as a wedding can be so are its invitations, they must comunicate immediately the spirit and personality of the couple and the celebration that is about to take place. Thats why I have hand picked 34 of the most innovative weddings invitatios I found at etsy.
Hope you find some of them wishing to marry soon or at least to inspire to design one for one of your clients.

This is just a fun depiction of our favorite microblog and the infamous Ritaling drug.
Nothing can stop you now!
