Artist uses optical tricks to create 'moving' murals

By Jeremy Bradley CNN

BOSTON, Massachusetts (CNN) -- A huge mural greets visitors to the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston. It's a memorial to the building's namesake, who died unexpectedly in 1993.

A young Reggie Lewis, wearing his No. 35 Boston Celtics jersey, dominates the middle of the 11-foot-by-14-foot artwork. At the bottom left is a picture of him and his wife. To his right, the face of legendary Celtic Larry Bird.

Artist Rufus B. Seder calls these "movies for a wall" Lifetiles. The Massachusetts artist invented the Lifetiles medium and is the only artist in the world using it. He has more than 30 Lifetiles installations around the globe.

Hundreds of tiles are used to create the "magic" mural at the Reggie Lewis Track and Athletic Center in Boston. The same mural, seen from a different angle, displays a new set of images around the main figure.

The credit loans suppose to be very useful for guys, which want to organize their career. In fact, that is not very hard to receive a short term loan.
