HOLYFUCK.

My, I feel inadequate 0_0

It must be so difficult to draw at that scale and anticipate what the perspective will look like from all angles over those paving slabs. I could probably evoke the illusion on A4 paper but NOT that hype-realism, NOT on the sidewalk and NOT in chalk.

Seriously, seriously gifted. Stuff like this is a precious treasure. What a talent...

yea it only works from one angle .. a 3d looking spherical object would look like a giant oval from a side view

That's the thing- It must hurt one's brain to have to keep checking to see it looks right from the right side, when it looks like what you're working on makes no sense, or holding an idea in your head of what it should look like from that angle. Unless he had a large vector image, digitally skewed it, printed it out, drew up a grid on the paving or used the geometry of the paving as a grid then copied it out flat.

Two years ago I had the privilege of watching two Bhutanese monks finish a most elaborate sand mandala, reminiscent of a hybrid of traditional North Indian and Navajo patterns, with the symmetry of eastern designs and the crisp linearity of Navajo. The next day the utterly glorious drawing was slated to be destroyed. The sheer awesome talent of the monks laying down line and area freehand was an exalted/exalting experience. cn

I wantd to post some simply awesome Navajo sand art here, but after reading a bit about its place in ritual, how it's used, I decided it would be irreverent. cn
