My aunt sent me these pics. Edgar Mueller was the one who did them. 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".   You can find more of his artwork here: http://www.metanamorph.com/ |

I was shocked when I saw it too. He said he used a special kind of chalk to draw with, so it wouldn't flake off.

Wow, it looks like disaster has been drawn.
-You can draw that with chalk?

I like how Saturn posted that like 30 seconds later. Therefore he prepared that image beforehand. My conclusion: he's a man with a plan. A schemer.

That is... amazing. =O
I'm good with colored pencils and pastel, but chalk... Man, that is just beautiful.

Whoa.... that's epic. |
by that logic, cheese graters do not exist, as they are not graters made of cheese.

   The dream is free.. the work to achieve it is sold separately.OOC: An OOC expression of horror would confirm your humanity nicely.  MLNO. The only forum I know where expressions like the one above are commonplace.  Everyone is frustrating in their own special way.
