Now that's cool! And incredibly convincing. I can't get my brain to see it as two dimensional at all.

I always wonder what these look like from the other end of the street, surely they'll only work if you're stood in the right place? Amazing stuff though, must be such hard work!

Saw a tv programme on Beever - very interesting, too. He sets up a point of view (through a digi camera, I think) and, as Chris points out, it's just about the only point at which the painting makes any sense.
Interesting link Ed.

Oh wow, on the website Mike posted it shows one of them viewed from the 'wrong' view pont. It's so weid and distorted, makes you wonder how on earth he judges what size everything should be!

He sets up a camera on a tripod and constantly refers back to that point of view, and he prays that it doesn't rain!
