3 Amazing Art Car Drawings by Eric Carlos Bertrand

Wow Bus
These Art Car drawings were created by artist Eric Carlos Bertrand who was inspired by real Art Cars. He currently resides in Montreal and has taken the art car as a source of inspiration for researching the possibilities for viable version of the "ship of fools", a old imagery related to the tradition of the carnavalesque. Read his web site detailed info. Three of the art cars I found were posted on Art Car Central a while back so I wanted to show the world how good his art work is. Eric has some really impressive drawing skills and a hole lot of patience, personally I would rather glue stuff on my art car.

Legally Blind 7-Year Old Loves to Draw Art Cars

Corey Graves is an amazing 7-year-old from Sabin Elementary School who just loves to draw art cars. When asked how he gets his ideas he said:

"I've got to get a brainstorm in my head," which then goes "boom!" and is followed by "lightning pops!" and, "then whoop! Here comes a car outta my head."

The most amazing thing about him is that Corey is considered legally blind because of a genetic vision disability. His hand starts moving with deliberate motions. He draws a squarish shape, then moves the pencil up to draw windows, then adds details. He is quiet, still and totally focused on his creation. more via
