Auto Show

On May 17, 2008 the Blue Dome Arts Festival was held in Tulsa and some great artcars were there as well. This video was taken by Dave from Kansas city owner of the Aerocar. Some of the cars shown in this video were the: The Yellow Submarine, The Shuttle-Van Art Car, The Cow Goddess, car covered in false teeth and toothpaste tubes, The Yarn Car, The Phone Car, and the famous Radio Flyer Car.

Maker Faire 2008 - Vehicles! - The funniest videos are a click away
Here is a great video taken from Maker Faire 08 of all the vehicles that were there this year. Including the Electric Cup Cakes, the Mercedes Pens, fossil fool bikes, the human powered bus, and a very special steam powered bike.

I totally digress from art cars but this video about a giant Lego ball made from 5million pieces is worth it. If nothing else it involves a down hill road, a chase, and a car getting crunched along the way and it was filmed in San Francisco. Its a performance art piece.

Sometimes you have to break with tradition and build that crazy triple decker bike that will take you places, fast and tall.

I figured now would be a good time to include my very own Mercedes Pens Art Car covered inside and out in close to 7,000 pens of all kinds. Since I just went to Maker Faire 08 in San Mateo, I found a fresh batch of really nice photos of the pen car and my self The Pen Guy on Flick.

Below is a nice shot of the inside of the car with dashboard covered in pens using velcro so I can take them off and rearrange them. As you can see no car is complete with out a pair of fuzzy dice from the rear view mirror and a ton of lanyard pens that now completely block my view in certain spots.
