"Cloak" of invisibility...

WOW -- this is cool...

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."

that is awesome. I'd love to have seen that in person.

It's only the shadow of the vehicle that gives it away as real. I'm just surprised that:

a) the car wasn't 'removed' within the three week period
b) no-one else drove into it.
