May 3 2009Sure: Art Student Paints Car To Be Invisible

invisible car 1.jpg

University of Lancashire art student Sara Watson painted an old Skoda Fabia to appear invisible when looked at from just the right angle. This happens to be the right angle. If you were standing next to it it would just look like a spraypainted piece of shit. Still, good looking, Sara. You, not the car. Let's do it.

Hit the jump for one more picture.

Artists turns her old Skoda Fabia into an 'invisible car' [dailymail]

Thanks to A-lice in Wonderland and Sam, who once forgot where they parked and hotwired a nicer car. Smart thinking.

Yeah, saw this this morning and this is what I wrote on my Tumblr:

Is it me (yes) or is that empty space at the bottom right just screaming for a FAIL stamp?

is this pew pew resistant ?

Its a Skoda, no wonder she wanted it invisible.

It's not Skoda Fabia, it's Skoda Felicia. Correct it man

Fake!!!!

This is a complete photoshop job. You can tell its a fake because the shadow's are all wrong.

This is exactly like that scene in the movie Never Back Down wheremax is getting high with his friend who is looking for work. They make a fake call to the friends annswering machine with a callback for an interview so the wife will think he's really looking for work. Unfortunately they start laughing about it before they hang up the phone.

Wish there were more images. To me, it just looks like a lame photoshop job. And the daily mail....eh

i will DAMN DOWNLOAD THAT "NEVER BACK DOWN" AND WATCH IT

Whoa that looks cool.

but does she suck a good dick?

she is 10000x cuter in the 2nd pic.

@19.

Que agree. Foto numero uno make mi want to punch su cabeza.

I think it's cool

lol :] i like reading comments

I'm not interested, who would want a car with just an invisible angle

But if we were living in a 2d world it would actually works...hmm

Brilliant job! If your eyes aren't that perfect then it's invisible.But even with perfect eyes,you wouldn't believe it! Well done!

This is the proof that Skodas are pretty much invisible cars in traffic!

really cool minus the fact that it has a shadow and there is paint over the windsheild/windows

brilliant.
i give her major kudos. i bet that was time consuming and had to have much precision.
i'm impressed :D

HAhaha! Awesome.

Sex in the car and nobody would see.

Fake!!!!

im a vaginal pad

TO the fake Kev, You have super aids and swine flu. Also I am a total winner and many bow to me. I am your master!! PEW PEW PEW!

@33: No you're just really goddamned retarded.

This is really cool. I would like to see some pictures of it from the wrong angle though. I've been looking at it so long it's starting to screw with my head.

thats retarded

Man, maybe its just because we did this project in my freshman year of art school, but this sort of seems like an old trend to me. Is the painting stuff to look like other stuff thing over yet?

Shut up mofos! We invented failure!

They are not doing a good job, because I can still see the car...

Wow, they did a good job!

too funny not to pass it on Obnoxious Groundhog

WTF is a Skoda?


this is fantastic

http://captain-hash.mybrute.com

take your turn now.

uh... im pretty sure I saw the same picture but with a completely different girl next to it saying the exact same thing ?

i dont understand!

shes's cute. and WHOA! good job on the car, it reminds me of the movie Predator, when the Predator cloaks himself. @ 40, skoda is a Polish car brand

FAKE!!!


I SUCK BLACK COCK THOUGH

@4
u are a bitch...

Actually, I think Skoda is a Czech brand, not Polish.

That looks pretty cool. It'd probably be better with a more stationary objects.

I dunno, it would be fun IMO to paint away phone boxes and stuff, xD

@44

You say it like it's a bad thing.

Awesome... I want to bang the creativity out of her

@22
That was amazing.

Awesome job.

anyone else think she looks like lindsey lohan?

How did she do the windshield?

the windshield and windows being painted is a good call, you can't really drive it that sux...... but painting things like phone boothes so that as you walk by on the sidewalk they disappear would be [flipping] hilarious.....

and last but not least, why the [fa-duck] does someone always have to come in and comment on a perfectly cool picture and say its fake. the only thing wrong on this is, on the second picture there is one mess up (by passenger side front of car on ground, by foot and above wrist.) but that one was most likely photoshopped to add in all the other poses of her, so calm the [fa-duck] down and enjoy a good picture!!!

I am out my good sirs! (and ladies!)

Last.

What the hell is wrong with her left hand!?

@54

You're fake!

Can you believe that while I sit here and pay taxes these kids are in school. Expressing them selfs. I mean come on can you do something productive. Whats next paint your self invisible walk into a bank and pinch peoples asses!

58 - They are in school to get a degree which will earn them higher salaries throughout life, thus paying more taxes. If you're jealous they went to school... GO BACK TO IT.

What a waste.

Can we get it on in your invisible car since no one can see it anyways!

http://std-aids.mybrute.com

she is really good looking.. oh the art is nice too

I'd like to see her invisible panties. Oh! Oh snap...oh god I'm hilarious.

MUST SEE!!

Hey Art Students, you should be checking out ArtStudentGallery.com

You can tell it's very obviously fake. Check out the background in relation to the car. The car changes positioning in the pictures. If she painted it exactly like that in pic 1 then in pic 2 when the position changes slightly the car wouldn't be able to have the exact lines. Also, why does the wall/windows color change from white to blue? I hate art students and their stupid lies.

its photoshopped D:

Wow thats pretty ingenious. Kudos to her man lol. I love when people can actually come up with creative stuff like that. I spose this is the gathering place for all this kinda stuff anyway lol

Why is it you 'tards come in and scream PHOTOSHOP every time you're too stupid to grasp the concept of awesomeness. Look at the frikkin link here http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/picturegalleries/5261764/Invisible-car.html?image=3 for another angle and STFU!

word. pretty sweet

why paint a skoda

OK, to those who are calling it a fake, and who are somehow unable to view the car from other (wrong) angles as given at the links provided in a couple of posts -
1) get a life;
2) this sort of painting / art style has been done before by top designers, and as a student there is no better way to learn than to emulate the masters, so I take my hat off to the girl for giving it a go and getting a very good result.

Any reasonably skilled chump could knock this sort of picture up in Photoshop, it takes an even bigger chump to go around shouting 'Photoshop!' at blog posts than involve something they could not comprehend being possible. Or perhaps it is just jealousy.

I suppose these people also believe that all those advertisements painted on the rugby pitches to look like upright advertising hoardings are Photoshopped too. Exactly the same concept, and if you see it from a different camera angle you'll see that the advert is wildly stretched out of proportion.

I suppose this is fake too:

and many more examples just like it. Not to mention many pavement artists who draw perspective pieces on the ground every day.
