Art student's car vanishing act
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."

Wow, some of you are complete tools... It's art. Not literally a vanishing car...
lol
She did an excellent job. That's really hard to do. This is not any different than that other artists drawings he does on the city street/sidewalks with chalk. They too only look 3d from one perspective.

This is stupid...just like WonderWoman's "invisible' jet....if you can see it, it's not invisible.....we can all clearly see the car.
i can still see the car. bricks are all wrong. fail.
if you're going to do something completely pointless do it right. what a whore.
its only invisible if you look at it from a very precise angle.
fail.
That's pretty stupid since it would only look that way at that specific angle. If you're standing couple of feet to the left or right, it would look all messed up.
