Monster Big Bike Could Crush Hot Weels
bicycle riding madness. Its not the easiest bicycle ride to handle to come out of the Netherlands, but its slow and steady. The only thing it will crush is hot wheels
cars lined up on the side walk. The video is a must see.

Elmer Ford Art Car by Allen Christian
Elmer Ford is the second artcar created by artist Allen Christian. Unlike his first vehicle which had a bolt on/glue on surface, Allen wanted to create a moving sculptural form. After acquiring a 1966 Ford F250 pickup, closed cell foam was applied over the topper and cab, sculpted, painted and fiberglassed. Allen considers Elmer a themeless artcar
and more as an extension of his sculpture studio, the House of Balls. Elmer and Allen both extend an invitation to stop by if you're ever in Minneapolis. Oh yeah, Elmer isn't done yet. Bet you've heard that before.

THAT PLACE IN BETWEEN
"Vertical Hold" by Sterling Hundley
Somewhere between the art you have not seen yet and the art you have stopped seeing because it has become too familiar...
Between the veteran artist running out of original ideas and the child who believes his every crayon line is unprecedented...
Between the artist who aggressively competes with all his peers and the artist who is oblivious to where he stands...
Between the professional who desperately depends on art to pay the mortgage and the amateur who resorts to art to fill an idle Sunday afternoon...
Between the expert who is hamstrung by too much knowledge of art's long history and the airy ignorance of the novice...
Between the artist who is shackled by the demands of unreasonable clients and the heedless freedom of an artist with no audience at all...
Between the investor who views art only in financial terms and the fan who is insensitive to the economics that make art possible...
Between the person who ignores art and the person who is so obsessed with art that it diminishes his experience of life...
........................................lies a sweet, sweet spot.
