A design student made a battered old Skoda “disappear” by painting it to merge with the surrounding car park.
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.
‘Just amazing’
Ms Watson, a second year student, said: “I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed something a bit more physical to make a real impact.” She was given the Skoda Fabia from the breaker’s yard at local firm Recycling Lives.
Owner Steve Jackson described her work as “amazing”.
“When I first saw the photos I was convinced it was something which had been done on the computer,” said Mr Jackson.
“But when you look more closely you see the effort and attention to detail she has put into it. It is just amazing.”

She truly has the marks of a Liberal nutjob.
Photos are one think but I wonder what it looks like in person?
BTW… Real liberal nutjobs don’t have the work ethic to do something like that.
#2. Check the linked video….
wow this can also be used by the american car companies, they vanishng before our eyes..
😛
Hollywood will get hold of her to make one for a movie. She will make big bux, acquire worldwide fame, etc., while those who refer to great artists as “liberal nutjobs” will still be working at McDonald’s.
#5–She should have used a Pontiac!
But I tend to agree with Angel on this one. One should note that Liberal Nutjobs can and do actually devote considerable time, effort and skill to things. They just devote it to utterly useless, unproductive kinds of things. Heaven forefend anyone should devote the required time, effort and knowledge to fusion or curing cancer or doing something about Barney Frank. It’s always some freakish artwork or disgusting new foodstuff or saving some slimemold.
Oh, and bye the way, if the only choices given are liberal or conservative, I put myself in the liberal camp.
Can you guys explain what you mean by liberal nut job?
I’m convinced the terms, liberal and conservative are just words used to get around common sense.
#8 – it’s simple:
A liberal nut job is anyone on the left who doesn’t agree with you.
A conservative nut job is anyone on the right who doesn’t agree with you.
I’ve seen this image elsewhere this week. All from the same perspective. It would help my BS filters accept the image as real if I could also see another picture off-axis. The effect would definitely disappear. The biggest challenge I imagine for an artist would be matching the color luminances. Wouldn’t it change as the sky clouds up or time of day changes?
She should have put an SEP field over it. I can still see it.
#9. Yep
#10 yup

So what? It’s her life. She can devote it to whatever she wants as long it doesn’t harm anyone. Would you prefer the State tell her what to devote her life to?
Artists do art.

WOW! Can she paint our president??
Let me take a wild guess here, Her parents are wealthy enough to send her to art school so she can spend 3 weeks on this.
This reminds me of the time I painted a tunnel on a side of a rock when Wylie Coyote was chasing me.
why
its not invisible and it only looks semi invisible from one spot
useless?
Why am I saying she’s a liberal nutjob? Because right wing women are either overachieving, heartless, childless bitches *coughdoleeza* or Bible thumping, child spitting machines. Hence they don’t have time for something like art.
Hug your boyfriend, Angel…
#18 – locomotivebreath1901 – Can she paint our president??
Yes, she can.
#22 – Angel
LOL 😀

Yes she has all the marks of a truly talented nutjob.
I say more power to her.
We need more, lots more, of her ilk.
#23 Rimjob,
I’d rather do something else to him and I think you and your buddy Larry Craig can tap-dance to its rhythm at an aiport’s restroom.
#26 noname,
I sure hope she doesn’t become another one of those young feminists who hate men but have no motive for it.

Me thinks, you read too, too much into her attire and appearance.
Aside from that, she has demonstrated a talent that maybe 1 out of 1e6 might have. If anything else that needs to endorsed and encouraged.
You also sound, awfully experienced at being an object of “no motive” female hatred, IMHO 🙂
That’s not a Fabia, it’s a Felicia.
