# Moving Presidential Body Paint Group Illusion Reveals Obama's Face From the Proper Angle By lourdes sanchez bayas | Published 2009-02-27 | Naughty Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moving-presidential-body-paint-bodies-in-motion-display-obamas-face References: [moillusions](http://www.moillusions.com/2009/02/amazing-obama-body-paint-illusion.html) Trend Hunter has not been shy about featuring the many, many manifestations of President Barack Obama’s likeness within popular culture. And to continue with that popular theme, a group of people have created a beautiful example of [collective body paint](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yolo-paint) in motion that, when the bodies are assembled together at the right angle, results in the formation of President Obama’s face. The [YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crazyface) video above offers a clear view of that precise angle at which the faces (incidentally, Pope Benedict’s facial features are also displayed) can be fully appreciated. Just watch for yourselves.
