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...

Honestly, it's far from what I thought it would look like. It is indeed a brain smasher.

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.

Post by: More Cowbell on January 24, 2006, 01:49:49 pm: 99% of the people walking by this sidewalk art must be wondering what the hell he's painting that's so damn long.
