Dick Termes has been a friend of my family for many years, and I grew up in love with his spherical paintings.

Termes is, to my knowledge, the world's only practitioner of "six-point perspective," a concept that he explains here. Unfortunately, a video really can't capture what's cool about his spheres. After you watch a piece turn for a few seconds, the sphere appears to turn concave and you're able to see the landscape from the inside. It's sort of like one of those Magic Eye thingies except, you know, that it works.
