HERE'S THE STEP BY STEP ON HOW
EDGAR MUELLER creates his Sidewalk 3D work |
|||
| LONDON, West India Quay on the Isle of Dogs | |||
|
Mueller surveys his 'canvas', located at the West India Quay on London 's Isle of Dogs.
|
The artist puts down his first strokes as the scene begins to take shape.
|
Mueller paints stalactites to add realism and detail to his piece.
|
Mueller said he wanted the artwork to appear as if the cave was unearthed by an earthquake.
|
|
Curious locals inspect the 100-square-metre scene
|
When viewed from the opposite angle, the 3D image disappears

| IRELAND | |||
|
RAIN? Edgar Mueller's previous artwork had to contend with rain in Ireland earlier this year
|
Mueller used a hair dryer to desperately fix the soggy paintwork
|
By day two, 'The Crevasse' begins to take shape
|
Mueller hurries while the weather is fine.
|
|
The final touches are made on day five of the exhausting assignment
|
Locals delight in experiencing the interactive artwork

Winter of 2007-2008:
Michigan has had the coldest winter in decades. Water expands to freeze, and at Mackinaw City the water in Lake Huron below the surface ice was super cooled. It expanded to break through the surface ice and froze into this incredible wave.
I've seen pictures of this wave phenomena in Antarctica, but in Michigan? Yes, it's been quite a winter!

This is the SUNSET at the NORTH POLE with the moon at its closest point - digitally created, that is, according to Snopes, entitled "Hideaway" by German astrophysics student Inga Nielsen using Terragen scenery-rendering software. Still beautiful work. |

These illustrate the distinction between seeing and perceiving. Al Seckel's "The Great Book of Optical Illusions" has a great collection. Here is a sampling. (FIREFLY BOOKS, LTD. 2002)
A face, or the word "liar"? ...
Do you see
Focus on the dot, then move your head backwards and forwards...
Impossible box...
Do you see black splotches?
or the word "LIFT" ? ------------------------------ Look at the middle column. Where does it end?

"The Hand of God" cloud formation, I'm sure you'll enjoy. This phenomenal natural photo was taken by Sue Beatrice in southern New Jersey:
She contacted me with more information from her online gallery on how it was taken, except for resizing and color correction, this is really what she saw & photographed:
Here's another image taken moments later as the cloud was dissolving:

(Answer to WHERE is the MOUNTAIN LION in the photo at the top of the page?)
