    Default PAC-MAN sidewalk painting

    saw this little article on MSN about an artist who drew a 3D pac-man rendition. I figured I'd show you guys. Check out the pic slideshow.

    The article doesn't really explain it, but it's drawn in a projected type of perspective(unsure of the exact term) which means that it only looks right from one particular point of view, but when there it should really pop and look 3d.

    It's generally referred to as "forced perspective"

    these have been popping up alot lately. I can remember watching Ripley's Believe It Or Not back in the late 90s and seeing that one guy that did this stuff and go "wow thats amazing" now everyone seems to be doing it which is interesting... Not saying i could do it because i know i can't go past the level of stick figures on side walks lol
