This guy seems to have a very good grasp of the use of perspective. It's interesting to see what these drawings look like from any other place other than where the camera is. It's really amazing that they look so realistic.

I was curious about that myself...Compare the two images below. The woman's foot runs way down the sidewalk. I can't fathom being able to think in that perspective. It hurts my brain just trying...

I think it hurts her leg even more  ;D
Honestly, it's far from what I thought it would look like. It is indeed a brain smasher.

Cool.

Wonder if anyone here has ever attempted making sideart for their cab in this perspective style.

Wow! I expected it to look skewed from other angles, but I never expected anything so extreme. That's just a mind scrambler.

99% of the people walking by this sidewalk art must be wondering what the hell he's painting that's so damn long.

in general, that type of effect is called 'tromp loeil' which literally means 'trick of the eye'.
