    :yho: I just have to share these pictures as they are pretty mind blowing I think...!!

    :ntwrth: Edgar Mueller Super Artist

    [​IMG]

    Great Crevase Edgar Mueller.
    Hard work: Together with up to five assistants,
    Mueller painted all day long from sunrise to sunset. The picture appeared on the
    East Pier in Dun Laoghaire , Ireland , as part of the town's Festival of World Cultures

    He spent five days, working 12 hours a day, to create the 250 square metre image of the crevasse,
    which, viewed from the correct angle, appears to be 3D. He then persuaded passers-by to complete
    the illusion by pretending the gaping hole was real.
    'I wanted to play with positives and negatives to encourage people to think twice about everything
    they see,' he said. 'It was a very scary scene, but when people saw it they had great fun playing on
    it and pretending to fall into the earth. 'I like to think that later, when they returned home, they might
    reflect more on what a frightening scenario it was and say, "Wow, that was actually pretty scary".'

    Mueller, who has previously painted a giant waterfall in Canada , said he was inspired by the British 'Pavement
    Picasso' Julian Beever, whose dramatic but more gentle 3D street images have featured in the Daily Mail.

    This guy is amazing no matter how you look at it!

    I can't find the right words for this. 'Wow, amazing' doesn't come close for me. Mind blowing.

    :gnthb: I also came across these...... They are just so cool....!!!!! The fact they are from chalk is what makes them all the more mind blowing as they are only there for a short time so you can never take them for granted...!!!!!!!!!!!! Brilliant guy....:yho:

    Amazing art!! I first saw this a while ago when looking around Youtube, but there was an example shown on television one night. I'd love to see one in reality, just to get the full impact of it all....

    Imagine... you are on your way home after having a few, perhaps too many, and you suddenly come across one of the pieces of art through fuzzy eyes. I wonder how you would behave?
