Lenticular Farmhouse Hot Air Balloon
Lenticular Farmhouse Hot Air Balloon
Remember that dreamy hot air balloon or serene farmhouse scene from your eye doctor’s office? The one with the surprise, not-so-happy ending? Now you can own it.
This 5-inch lenticular print recreates the two iconic autorefractor scenes into one beautiful display. It’s just like you remember, only better… and less terrifying. This small lenticular print shifts with your gaze and makes a beautiful optometrist gift, nostalgic framed curiosity, or liminal space art piece.
Size: Compact 5" print, perfect for desks and shelves (frame not included).
Design: Classic hot air balloon over a highway, and the serene farmhouse landscape seen in the autorefractor machine, together as one.
Material: Thick, high-quality lenticular lens, showcasing depth and motion of the two images.
I made this because I’ve always found the optometrist jump scare machine weirdly calming. Sometimes it’s a farmhouse, sometimes it’s a hot air balloon, always a liminal experience. Until the puff of air that is. I hate going to the optometrist. Although, if you gift this to your eye doctor in a nice little frame they may waive your copayment. Mine did (not even kidding).
Nostalgia meets art: A tribute to the iconic vision test that introduced generations of children to their very first jump scare.
Conversation starter: Instantly recognizable and emotionally resonant. Blow in people’s eyes to complete the experience.
Perfect liminal gift: Ideal for optometrists, retro art lovers, fans of lenticular art, or anyone who appreciates liminal spaces.
Note: The lenticular effect on this print is top/bottom (horizontal lens rows) and not left/right (vertical lens rows). It looks best in a small desk frame or anywhere where the height of the viewer changes when sitting or viewing from various angles.
