Is it a culmination in the romance
between man and his horseless carriage?

any better way to personalize a faithful wagon
fly to a wonder-world on his 4-wheeled dragon?


Questions are asked as to how it could have started
how viewers reacted to a camera studded car and parted

limited reaction initially, then curiosity peaks
as to the audaciousness behind penny covered roofs
how decorated vehicles speak

the language is...look what else a vehicle can give
takes on the personality of the owner who lives

and the creator would argue
of the presence of serious thought
how the car touched up by his creative talent
became more than just store bought


a statement made as it would be with a man and his tatoo
why should car art be looked at strangely as if something taboo?


Because the process of creativity is not for all
some might just accept their machine as nothing else
before their fall
some want their vehicle to be more than a saddled container
more than an empty walls
more than a transport mode and horrendous retainer


a personalized statement, yes indeed
attractive sights through river reeds

Art, art and more art! I love to see color used creatively! Car art?--but of course! Anything to brighten up our world!

--and I just enjoyed your creative expression!

Loves 'n hugs,

I've seen some of these on TLC. While i agree with giving a car a little personality I've seen some of those monstrosities..bottle caps andsea shells etc. It's not so much the call of art as it is a cry for attention..

Yes, I agree with Raph...
I think when people make such a display of
anything, it's more for attention than
self-expression.
