The 3D Street Art of Edgar Muller
This dramatic piece of art will CRACK you up.
Artist Edgar Mueller has created a huge work of 3D street art call The Crevasse.
It took the German master of optical illusions five days to paint the giant fissure in Dun Laoghaire, Ireland.
He worked from sunrise to sunset to make the 250 square metre image which appears to show a fault in the earth's crust.
Created for the town's "Festival of World Culture" last year, Muller's jaw-dropping art involved clever planning so that when the picture is viewed from a certain angle it looks totally three-dimensional.

And locals wasted no time having fun with the work by pretending to teeter precariously on the edge of the deep hole.
Edgar explains: "3D street painting itself is a very new artform which only a handful of people do worldwide. Its nature is to trick people's eyes and show them a new 'reality'.
"The technique itself is called anamorphism and has been known since the Middle Ages. It was used by famous painters like Michelangelo, da Vinci and others in their murals."
Edgar's previous works include sharks jumping out of pavements, raging waterfalls on city roads and a German street collapsing into a lava pool.
