Coffee with that Art Car?
On Friday, I spotted this art car parked not too far from the Starbucks on Church Street in Cambridge. Nearly everyone that walked by gave the vehicle a once over. Covered with plastic animals, cartoon characters, human figures, and creatures from another planet, the car had a weird David Lynchian vibe. A little scary, I must say. Tried to track down the car’s origins online to no avail…
(Want more art cars? There is an Art Car Fest in the San Francisco area at the end of September. And for those who prefer their art cars on ice, there is Minnesota’s Art Cars on Ice.)
Garden variety North American Nomad. Born in the Midwest; lived and worked on the West Coast and abroad; studied in the South. Recently spotted putting down roots in New England.
Well, I guess the owner can always find the car in a
big parking lot!
