August 9, 2011 Snake Bus
Attachment 33388
I have seen this on several sites and can't figure out the originator, so no credit given to the photographer.
One comment on one of the sites:
|
I've googled this pic and only ever found one recurring view, a side-on shot as above. If this is not just a photoshopped pic I'd be surprised...unless I see a three quarter view or more pics in different locations I'll remain unconvinced. Such a unique bus would have had people snapping away like mad things and the pics would have been emailed to all and sundry within a heartbeat.... unfortunately this does not appear to be the case. Lets see some more pics to ease my scepticism |
In any case, I still think it is very creative.

I think it's really cool, and I've seen buses painted up with scenes similar to this before, so it's certainly possible. But I think it might not be real because anyone who goes to that much trouble to paint a bus will put the name of the zoo on the side too.

I guess it is real...

It's Copenhagen.
These guys claim it:

Yeah, that's pretty cool.
I like the shark-jaws-for-doors theme, too.

Ah, if it is in Copenhagen, why isn't the message on the side written in Copenhagenish?

Local people don't go to the zoo. Tourists go to the zoo.

'Zoo' might be the name of a night club or something.
BigV Tuesday Aug 9 08:15 PM
where you can get your crush on, eh?
someplace you can go with your main squeeze?
ride the snake bus to the club where you can ... um, nevermind.
for the record, my local zoo's website is just zoo.org -- simple

And when you're done with that ad/image, it's relatively easy to remove, ready for the next ad to be stuck on.
You can see loads of examples by googling "bus wrap" or "vehicle wrap" for images.

I was also wondering, if this was "photoshopped" how could someone produce something so detailed that way? It would take a lot of work to put in the crack marks and other details, wouldn't it? Or I am I just being naive?

naive I'm afraid.. this whole site is "shopped"

Did you find our snake bus? I looked around a bit and couldn't find it.
grynch Wednesday Aug 10 09:25 AM
I have little doubt the bus is real... I've seen similar things on the street ... but again what a talented digital artist can do really is amazing.

I'm tired of this mothereffin' snake on the mothereffin' bus!
(Can't believe this wasn't noted before.)

Thing is, because to create the 'wrap' you have to use photoshop, any resulting real photo is going to look photoshopped because you're photoshopping a photoshop.
Still, don't care either way - it is a cool pic
