# Allow me to explain.
I was looking at the one that's often called 'annoying beans' and it looks as if the rotation of the beans, which is apparent due to the contrast of light and dark edges, flounce flounce flouncey flouncey flounce.

# So what youre saying is,
it's trial and error? They're definitely getting gooderer.

Maybe eyefuckers could be an image challenge.

# That sounds like a fun challenge.
We could hold it during national migraine awareness week.

# Basically yeah.
I think has something to do with the fact that your brain tries to make sense of the shading in terms of light direction, but since the shading is rotated in each component (suggesting an impossible lighting arrangement), the whole thing shifts visually as your mind tries to resolve the new shading information in a way that makes sense over the whole image.
That's a guess, but if you work on that assumption in the way that I have right here, it does start to fuck up visually, so even if I'm wrong about the reason, it's not a bad approach.

# Ah, yeah, that makes sense.
I might have a go sometime. I haven't had any hallucinogenics for years, but I do enjoy these little reminders.
