Would be funny if this was randomly featured on some product bar codes. Cool optical illusion. Had to step back from the screen pretty far to see it though.

Similar concept, different image. I haven’t seen this one before, I thought it was going be an illusion I found a couple of years ago. Similar concept, different image.

Copy the layer over an image and set the layer to multiply. Then add another layer with the same lines on top of the two, and set it to "normal", with about 85% opacity depending on the contrast in the original image. Rescale a bit to get the same line density as in the jesus case, et voila, :-).

And yep, I agree with the previous comment re: Western iconography that portrays Jesus as a Nordic or Slavic looking man. He was a Semite from the Middle East - he would've looked more like Yasser Arafat or Ariel Sharon at 30 then anyone else. Yep, stood back about 6′ – saw it fine.

Perhaps I shouldn't have put the thumbnail up because it would have made people look harder...

Brown hair and blue eyes be damned, that wasn't the look back then and that's not what he looked like. My mother doesn't agree. But then again, she's certain that God wears white robes, has a long white beard, is white, and has a deep commanding voice. I'm religious, but I also enjoy challenging my own beliefs by asking questions such as "If God is not of this world (if he's in "heaven"), is he technically an "alien"?". It's very important to be comfortable enough to question your faith. If you're not comfortable doing so, you probably need to study it more to figure out what you truly believe. Faith is funny that way :) The History Channel ran a special on what Jesus would look like. Brown hair and blue eyes be damned, that wasn’t the look back then and that’s not what he looked like.

I was just going to say that was a pretty controversial and eye-catching title with an equally eye-catching optical illusion. I like the optical illusions but sometimes they make my eyes hurt.
