I get what he’s trying to do … but we seem to be a long way from this working. I think we also are missing a couple or more.

🔗 Pejac Transforms Basic Graph Paper into Detailed, Trompe-L’œil Tableaux
Had to share just one of them …
Forever amazed how someone can pick up something like an empty ‘graph book’ and turn it into stunning art.
