Artist Incredibly Transforms Her Arms Into Insane Optical Illusions

By FizX on July 11, 2016@fizx

Lisha Simpson artist by profession has recently created an impressive collection of her arm turning into amazing optical illusions. She says that she is “fascinated by anything weird or unusual” and her thoughts are quite visible in her amazing art work.

She also explains:

“The final illusion is created by a combination of the perfect lighting, solid black paint to create negative space, a black background and the right angle. Once I’ve captured the perfect photo, I then use a photo editing app that allows me to fade the black paint to blend in with my background.”

This was soooo much fun to do! Inspired by the incredible work of @twistinbangs ?? seriously, every time she posts a photo I'm like ??? such a talent. And may I add, oh so beautiful ? #zombie #illusion #illusionart #illusion #art #artist #illusionpainting #bodyart #bodypaint #bodypainting #painting #handpainting #paint #mehron #skeleton #skeletonhand #bones #facepaint #mehron
