ArtCars

ArtCars are registered and insured vehicles that an artist has permanently altered in an artistic fashion.

These are not parade floats.

The unique aspect of our medium is that we bring art into the world every day as we drive our vehicles to work, to the store, and out on the highways.

I founded ArtCar Fest in 1997 with Harrod Blank in San Francisco, and we staged annual exhibitions of ArtCars from around the country for 20 years.

I’ve been making ArtCars for over 35 years. It takes me about 2 years to complete one.

I’ve driven these sculptures over one million miles.
