Art student creates invisible car with cool paint-job

Posted by Cory Doctorow, May 4, 2009 12:36 AM | permalink

Sara Watson, an English art student, turned a car "invisible" with a lovely trompe l'oeil paintjob:

Sara Watson, who is studying drawing at the University of Central Lancashire (Uclan), took three weeks to transform the car's appearance.

She created the illusion in the car park outside her studio at Uclan's Hanover Building in Preston.


The car is now being used for advertising by the local recycling firm that donated the vehicle.

    Wonder how many times that thing will get hit sitting there invisibly? LOL

      That's nothing!

      My former partner made not only my car disappear, but one of my houses and a large proportion of my bank accounts.

      Beat that,

      Regards,
      Jeff.

    Jeff, have you tried playing the record backwards?

    What a car that would be if she had covered it in mirrors...nothing like driving near something like that on a sunny day!

    That's actually her boyfriend's car. He came outside and asked her, "Dude! Where's my car?!"

    People who forget where they parked would have a heck of a time finding their car if it looked like that!

      Err ... what can I say - not sure that I understand all of that - but, someone must have covered the house and some of my bank accounts with mirrors too.

      Very resourceful are some!

      Jeff.

        As the old joke goes, what do you get when you play the country music record backwards?

        You get your house back, you get your dog back, you get your pickup back...

          Might be an old joke but it's the first time I heard it. Really like that one, thanks. But what about your wife and your bank account?

            Who would want the wife back?! I 'd say good riddance!

            Besides, if she left once, she'll do it again, only then she'll really clean you out! There ain't no taking the wife back after she leaves, far as I see it. She made her choice and it wasn't me.

            I'd rather have a good hunting dog than a wife who doesn't want to be there. A good hunting dog never complains, never tells me to put the toilet seat down, never takes all day to get ready to go somewhere, never needs a new dress or new shoes, never expects you to remember anniversaries or 'our song', never drives in circles in a parking lot for ten minutes before deciding on a parking space and does something useful, like tree coons and let you know when company's coming up the driveway!

            Now the bank account, that's a different story...
