I've seen something similar, but the guy I saw wasn't nearly as good an artist as this guy!

The left one or the right one?

I think you might be getting this guy mixed up with the guy that paints on rice grains (http://www.ricepainter.com/files/bass.jpg).

Of course they only look right from one point of view, perspective wise. I suspect he uses computer software to map out at least the basic layout of each piece. But even so ...

Yeah I saw photos of art like this taken from the other end and the whole piece was 10 times longer than the painting looks like.

Perspective, it has to be to be stretched to get it right, so from all angles but one it looks wrong.

I love stuff like that! It's amazing how wonderful artists can bring things to life.
I have also seen some other artist do drawings like that, I will look if I still have some of the photos.

That's not art in my book, that's convention.
