Display idea

Ever heard of the artist Julian Beever? He is most famous for his perspective sidewalk-chalk artwork. He skews his artwork in such a way, that only from viewing the work at a certain angle will the artwork look right. Not only does it look right, but from the right angle it actually looks like the artwork is 3-dimensional! Have a look:

 These 4 images are property of Julian Beever
This gave me and idea... I can skew my images in such a way, that they will look like they are popping out of the wall if you stand in the right spot. Sure, my globes have perspective and look 3D... but they are still just a flat circle on a page. But I think I found a way to re-create this perspective. Hopefully, if done correctly, I can make it look like my (flat circle) globes are actual GLOBES stuck onto the wall... does that make sense?


The process:

I'm going to try a small scale test (8"x8" possibly) and see how it works,  I'll post a picture when its all said and done.
