Acclaimed street painter Edgar Mueller looks like he is teetering on the brink of disaster - but he is achieving a new Guinness World Record by creating the world's biggest 3D pavement art.

Mueller sat down for a well-earned rest in the middle of his jaw-dropping wintry scene, outside the Westfield shopping centre in west London.

The artist beat his own world record by covering an area of 330 square metres with work inspired by the family film Ice Age 3: Dawn Of The Dinosaurs, celebrating its launch on Blu-ray and DVD.

The pavement art took six days to create and included the Ice Age 3 characters Manny, Buck, Sid, Diego, Scrat and Scratte positioned over an icy crevasse.

The image will remain at Westfield London for a further week, to enable Christmas shoppers to become part of the image by posing in the scene.
Craig Glenday, editor in chief of Guinness World Records, was on hand to verify the new world record.

He said: "Guinness World Records has been monitoring the fantastic work of Edgar Mueller for some time now, and we're thrilled to be so closely involved with his latest record-breaking creation.

"Children - and adults - around the world are blown away by Edgar's eye-popping landscapes and he truly deserves a place in the record books taking the art of pavement of drawing to stratospheric new levels."
