5 Ways To Boost Morale in 2011 - Smurf Mobile Art Car Comeback

I finally found 5 smurf mobiles here on Art Car Central to boost morale in 2011 both environmentally and psychologically. What better way to say 'I (heart) mother earth" than with a tiny powered electric smurf art car with just enough power to get the mail at the end of the driveway. And then psychologically speaking what better way to boost morale in this current sad state of affairs that the renewed hope of a big smurf comeback in 2011.
If these five smurf art cars don't restore your hope in cleaner air and better TV season next year, nothing will.

Unicorn Art Van - Via

Here is proof that Unicorns do exist, painted on vans, cars buses bikes and in the mind. For me the search begun with a couple of old school vans covered in unicorns from the 80's almost as weird as the free candy van. On the other hand it just reinforces the idea some still believe in magic. Here is a good explanation for Unicorns on Wiki.

Marianna Mayer has observed (The Unicorn and the Lake), "The unicorn is the only fabulous beast that does not seem to have been conceived out of human fears. In even the earliest references he is fierce yet good, selfless yet solitary, but always mysteriously beautiful. He could be captured only by unfair means, and his single horn was said to neutralize poison."

Art Car Central Unicorn Definition:

"Fabulous eccentric person painted a unicorn on their car was not conceived from human fear but sheer insanity. A unicorn truck is fierce yet solitary because it would be really difficult finding a date for the prom in one. No one in their right mind would ever car jack a unicorn car, and the single horn was said to neutralize crossing pedestrians"

None of it makes sense I know and neither do unicorn cars, trucks buses and bikes.

Caulk It Art Van by Nod Nal-Teews at Art Car Fest

Photos by Bagel!

Nod D’Nal-Teews from Fort Worth, has been driving his "Caulk-It" van cross country for over 20 years now. His van is a 1979 Dodge Maxivan and matching trailer, dubbed the "Art Ark" with rooftop solar collectors that power appliances within the van, while a trailer serves as his studio. Most people use caulk to seal up cracks in their homes but he used about 300 tubes of the stuff to cover his art car spread with his fingers then painted over. He has also encompassed a variety of items in his design, from broom handles to rain gutters to pie tins. Nod will be at Art Car Fest weekend.
