It\'s so realistic that it\'s only a matter of time before someone tries to walk or drive under the arches. :sconf:

In Los Angeles that wall would be tagged within 24 hours, ruining the illusion completely.

I can imagine some drugged up teenager, or drunk wino running at that wall trying trying to commit suicide by trying to jump over the edge, only to smash his face open on the bricks

You don\'t have to be a good painter yourself to do this.

What you do need is to be good at math and having studied Brunelleschi alot. That\'s the guy who more or less invented drawing perspective on a flat plane.

Info on Brunelleschi (http://www.kap.pdx.edu/trow/winter01/perspective/)

Italy had great artists indeed.

very sweet art there.  Does he do this for  a living or did he just do it as a hobby with no pay?
