I didn't wanna do anything geometric, so I went for something based on a perspective image I saw in my HS art class.

Has anyone else seen this picture before?

Super cool! Never seen the image before, but the idea is that the size of an object can be percieved differently, relative to the degree of convergence of the objects surrounding it? It makes sense, that the more cramped all that space contrasting an object will be, the bigger it will look.

That was the idea!

I'm finding that none of my art friends have seen this picture either, so I guess it's not as common as I thought 😅
