Perspective

I have been working on my perspective drawings for vis.language recently and had a gander at Dick Termes work, he paints complicated scenes on spheres using 6 point perspective...

Dick Termes: from his website:

"Imagine that you are standing inside a transparent ball suspended fifty feet above the Grand Canyon floor. You are higher than some canyon walls and lower than others. You have paints and a brush, and you begin to paint what you see on the inside surface of the ball. You paint the north face, then the east, south, and west. Finally, you paint everything visible above and below you. You move your globe to safe ground and step out to observe your paintings. Walking around the sphere, you see that you have captured the entire three dimensional landscape. In fact, you've discovered the structure of your visual experience."
