Playing with perspective … I have written a blog (remember I mentioned I might?) about three alternatives to linear perspective, with three historical precedents and three contemporary practitioners. Tap the link in my biog to find it! This picture is by @marjan_vafaeian and if you follow her you will see how brilliant she is at drawing with BIRO!!!
