Inverted Reflected Art Warps Space, Time And My Mind

You can easily render these wicked images – which look warped on paper and straight when reflected on a metal cylinder – with a computer and a raytracing engine. But the fact that someone did this by hand blows my mind.

Absolutely nutters.

    look up the artist William Kentridge … specifically his anamorphic drawings / videos.

    this can be done simply by in photoshop using ‘distort – polar co-oridinates’. I have a series of work created using this effect & after reading this article am thinking I can complete the work by placing a reflective metal cylinder in the middle..

    A sample of which can be found here.
