No Julian Beever this time, but what we have here is one bad-ass 3D pavement chalk drawing. Edgar Mueller is responsible for today’s illusion. I’m not sure what you think, but seems these chalk drawings surpassed Julian’s artwork by more than an inch. Our looks fall for what was once a quite normal street of a German, medium-sized town. Immediately an apocalyptic scene offers itself to the observer. The floor bursts, and lava flows into a raging sea. There is a disaster in town, where cars ran once and people followed their daily routine. Nothing is like it once was. The superior elemental force forces its way. But as it is with most stuff on this site, appearances are deceptive. Only if one looks from right point of view, Muellers three-dimensional painting becomes perfect disaster illusion. If you noticed, there is a water flowing in the center of the street, I just can’t figure what the hell it has to do with the lava theme? Check Edgar’s flooded street, when you’re finished here.
Thats cool, would love to see what it looks like from another angle
That is awesome. Love to see more.
It’s not lava; it’s supposed to be an earthquake in which water has flooded the chasm.
oooooooh pwetty =3
thanks for showing all these awesome illusions ^^
Absolutely amazing! I love these kinds of pictures.
That must have taken forever to make. But, it was worth it.
The manhole cover kind of ruins the illusion.
thatz awesome, but i agree with mike, iwonder what i would look like from another angle??
Again with the bad influence? I am pretty dissapointed… Although the illusion is cool, remember to watch out for the younger audiences! The painted body illusion had some inappropriate photos and now you are swearing… Please watch it!
Could a fooled me. Looks computer generated, and then you see the before and after. It’s very explosive and i love the talent this person has. You definitely need to have an imagination to pull something like this off
a really good way to tell its a painting is… you can see one of the man hole covers….
interesting. would have mistaken it for a photomanip if not for being able to see the manhole cover.
First impression, without reading the text is like: Mmmh… Nice photoshopping… But than… :-).
Absolutely amazing, what a piece of art!!!
THE TOP ONE IS SO BELIEVABLE!!
please post more of these
This is great, things like this should make a TV-program of this…with illusions and how to make it…..GREAT
Wow ! is that chalkwork ?
to Anonymous it is lava just the lava has sharply melted some bits!!
omg love this one. can you do more of these? they are frekin awesome. i told my friend to put this on her gmail also! youre right to soay it kicks a$$. good job, artist!
bonnise bruten
WOW!!! even if i knew that it was chalk i still would not dare to walk in the middle off the street!!
(P.S. theres a kid and his mom standing by a window thet kinda ruin some of the illusion.)
The sewer near one of the broken formationa kind of give it awy but overall amazing 3D street painting!
I believe I am officially addicted to your website.
Great drawing, this one. But yeah, I don’t think it’s lava; it’s an earthquake.
Awesome… amaizing… I can’t say no more words… :O
tHIS WAS THE BEST ONE YET!
Now that is talent!
lol soo cool
imagine driving up to this at night, you would get a real shock! tehe
laaavaaa
laaavaaa :)
i want to fall in the laaavaa
It looks like a one-way street in the opposite direction from the illusion perspective. Notice the traffic signs all point away on bnoth sides of the street. Maybe from the driving perspective the illusion is not as scary.
Looks more like photoshop than chalk…
Agree with the swearing – can’t forward this like I would have liked…
I love the guy in the top picture (way in the back) who is walking on water. Hee-hee.
From another angle, it’s just a really loooong stretched out lava/water flow
I love the sidewalk chalk drawings most of all illusions. Please tell me where I could find a book of these masterpieces, if one exists. Love It
I have seen images like this before, thanks for showing how they are made!
wow…
THAT IS UNBELIEVEABLE!!!!!!!!
SHOW ME MORE!!!!!!!
J.R.

Thats looks sooooo cool, lol. Everyone was trying to make their way to the other side. It looks to realistic.
these are awsomee but the last ones crap x
for one that would take days of planing and the days it would days of drawing so it would take a week just about to do even one of the draw more depending the size!
that is an earthquake scene not lava
what swearing are you people referring to? if its the “what the hell” in the paragraph, you all need to go back to the amish country if you think that’s swearing
