Edgar Müller is at the cutting edge of 3D street art, also known as pavement art. His creations transform everyday locations into fantastical scenes: sharks erupting from pavements, chasms bisecting suburban streets and rivers cascading through towns. Above Lava Burst transformed a typical German street into a scene from the apocalypse for the 30th anniversary of the international competition of street painters in Geldern.
The letters used to say “Ticket Office” but somehow most of them got knocked down and the others are struggling to stay upright. When type is made into 3-d objects they seem to take on little lives, as if they are puppets or stuffed animals. With their clean white appearance they seem like they have fallen far before their time. Call me a nerd, but I almost feel sad for these once proud letters.
A great archive of Blue Note sleeves (amongst others) can be found here. Take a look.
Feast your eyes on these beauties…
