Amazing stuff!
I wonder, does this guy need a computer to calculate the false perspective in his images, sounds awfully complicated to me!

Seen one of his pics being done (Make poverty history), a very very talented individual.

However, someone will surely post a link to an even more talented artist (cos I can't find it lol)

how do they set the aderts into the grass at cricket matches etc, is it a template method or something

otherwise the drawing would need to be viewed from a particular point as well right

The maths involved in the ads in the grass is simple triangulation from a known camera position. Then they make a template.

I'd guess the pavement artist uses a digital camera and pre-plans the work very carefully. The Batman one will only work from one point of view.

When I saw him doing the 'make poverty history' pic, he had a camera with a sign telling peeps to view the pic thru the camera. Still can't find the better pics!
