Edgar Müller - Amazing Streetartist!

Traditionally, street painting involves reproducing great works of art, just directly onto the actual pavement. It's been around since the 1500's where it first started in Italy, and has filtered its way up through Europe, the Americas, and the rest of the world.

Now, to business:


Edgar Müller is a German street artist; he paints pictures on the pavement, massive ones. Mr. Müller, apart from painting normal things, paints masterpieces that, when looked at from the correct angle, appear as a 3D illusion. His last major project in August took three days to complete; he moved a street in Ireland into the Iceage. It was a three part project to make massive 3D street paintings that was sponsored by the Goethe Institute in Germany.

In case you were wondering, the above picture was done in chalk and there is no gaping chasm flanked by walls of ice in the sidewalk.
