Ok see THIS is what I am talking about. THIS is the essence of Oak Cliff. Here in Oak Cliff people feel free enough to express their creativity in so many different ways. We were just walking home from the store and BAMM this was in front of us. I was so excited to see this car!
There was this certain student that I had known since kindergarten. He had ALWAYS been into cars and ALWAYS had an adult point of view every since kinder. I always knew I could reach him if I related it to cars. He was put into my art class as an 8th grader and I enjoyed every minute of his company. He laughed at my jokes, discussed politics and finances and was ok with his mistakes. He brought me an article from some car magazine about "Art" cars. These were cars that were totally decked out with images. I fell in love with the idea of decorating cars. I scanned the pictures which were a on a full page spread across the fold and Photoshopped them together. The student was as much impressed at my ability to do that as I was with him. I hope someday he will see this blog and see himself in it.
The only thing this car lacked was the top lacquer coat. The images were starting to peel and flake off. I am glad I got a picture before they were all gone.
I LOVE it!
