Awesome 3D Pavement Illusions by Edgar Mueller

At the cutting edge of 3D pavement art is German artist Edgar Mueller. His creations transform everyday locations into fantastical scenes: sharks erupting from pavements, chasms bisecting suburban, streets and rivers cascading through towns.

The Master of street painting uses the street as a canvas. If one looks from the right spot, its three-dimensional painting becomes the perfect illusion.
