This is not an optical illusion. There are three blanks in this picture. The one in the middle is our experiment with Musou Black - a paint that absorbs 99.4% of visible light. Alex our CEO came across this paint mentioned in an art gallery. It’s sold in Japan, and after importing it, he enlisted the help of his friend, Ivan H. After a few trial and error runs, an airbrush did the trick! The result? Something that looks like a rift in the time/space continuum. Un-natural almost. Up close, it looks just like on the picture - like a void, a deep dark shadow, with some velvet like overtones. Coming to a blank soon? Who knows...many of our experiments are dead ends - but oh are they enjoyable! #northforkcomposites #customfishingrods #neverstopexperimenting
