Impossible Kite by Jos de Mey

Most of Jos de Mey’s paintings feature scenes with some impossible element to them.  His painting below titled “UFO Over Flanders Country” shows an aerial view of what can only be described as an impossible kite.  The fact that this oddly-shaped kite actually got off the ground seems to be a bit impossible too.  Maybe […]

An impossible bottle is one that has an object (or objects) inside of it that is physically larger than the neck of the bottle.  The bottles are undamaged with everything inside of the bottle being inserted through the neck.  When viewing an impossible bottle, the only real question that you will find yourself asking is, […]

Impossible Triangle on an Etch-A-Sketch

Outside of squares and rectangles, I have never been any good at drawing on an Etch-A-Sketch.  Every now and then I see a picture on the Internet that someone drew on one and I am completely blown away.  I suppose that like anything else in life, practice makes perfect.  It should come as no surprise […]

The Way to the Top by Erik Minnema

Impossible scenes are always welcome on this site.  We have previously featured impossible items such as triangles, stairs, nuts and tennis courts.  The following photograph represents an impossible chess board.  The modified board appears to be a flat surface.  But something is odd about it.  The pawn in the lower left corner looks as if […]
