Talking in jest

I was about to say that I miss all the bay area art cars now that I have moved away. But then I realized I don't.

Especially if they are all out of ink. The words they wrote probably weigh more than the entire car.

I think he should have done something with the various colors of the plastic pens, something more artistic than whats been done. It could be a crazy colorful pattern, not whats going on though

Maybe he'll redo it, lots of these guys redo the cars dozens of times, I have that Harrod Blank book on art cars, some are pretty incredible.

This one is just the general, I have lots of trash, im gonna glue it to my car.



I once came across one where the guy had a gold 70s caddilac, and his art theme was he would let people sign the car with sharpie. After the car got completely full up, he'd paint it again with gold, and the signing would begin again.

He estimated he had hundreds of thousands of signatures on the car by the time I got to sign it, was pretty neat
