Pushing the previous contest idea even further into the abyss, this Colouring Ball’s theme is Abstraction.
(http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2159609/abstract.png)
Let’s try and focus on the colours, not shapes. It doesn’t have to represent any objects or creatures, it just has to look good/bad/interesting/dull/etc. â€" it’s up to you. It may be a pattern, a texture, an abstract composition, a microchip or a rectangle with eyes - sort of ‘no rules’ deal.
Yet here they are, in small print:
- The outline may be rotated and scaled
- The outline may not be altered, but may be recoloured
- Keep all of the content either inside or outside of the shape, but not both.
- No colour limitations, although smaller palettes are preferable.
- Have fun, every entry is welcome! And you can submit a few!
Trophies will be supplied at the end.

I know I made another one without colors... but here's my favorite illusion. It's only two frames with the colors swapped, yet it looks like it's turning - and, additionally, it always moves into the direction you want it to move:

1x, with black frame

3x
PS. I felt an urge to participate, but if I win (which I doubt will happen, but anyway...) I won't be able to host the next Colouring Ball. So think of my entry as a "filler".

There's an obvious form in there, but it came out quite unexpectedly: I was just playing around with the two colours.
Stefano, your entry is quite dubious...
Jim Reed, cool op-art, exactly what i was looking for here.
NsMn, "We must move forward, not backward, upward not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!". Hypnotising stuff. :)
Stefano, beautiful colours and patterns, great job!
straydogstrut, neat picture, like the soft contrast. :)
So far so good, keep them coming!

Stare at it long enough to get eye-strain!

Okay, that's it!

Thanks for participating! Take it away, Jim!
Ooh, chocolate, thanks :-)
@IntenseDegree - I don't get it :-(
It's abstract art, Piet style.
I won?
YAY!
Will make another shortly. Congrats to all participants and be sure to enter the next one!

Yep, and that is the art I am best at, i.e. which is
1. Simple
2.
Stolen based heavily on someone else's idea! ;)
