Looks like rolling juke boxes! Those guys are not overly concerned with aerodynamics are they?

Rolling juke boxes are the perfect way to explain them, especially the pics in the dark. I will never understand what drives some people.

Not a fan of chrome. Id take grey or color-keyed bumpers over chrome ones any day.

I'm not really savvy in the area or anything, but I think that's "art." I've figured out that if I don't understand how or why something is the way it is, it's "art."

Nowadays you can smear poopie on the wall a certain way and it will qualify as art. I always wanted to paint one of my butt cheeks white and the other one black and press it up on a canvas and call it the dark side of the moon.

I can't agree with that, and I am an artist. I think this was a jab at fine art, which, to some, may seem like just paint smeared everywhere. Well, even if that's how it seems to the eye, it goes deeper than that. The artist uses colors that are reflective of his/her emotions at the time, usually. So if they were angry, it would probably have reds, yellows. If they were depressed, you may see blacks and blues. You just have to read in to the piece.

I do a lot of digital art, and a lot of people believe that the computer does it for you, well that is certainly not true and the computer is just another tool in your arsenal as an artist. It still requires creativity and taste as an artist. It isn't like point, click, TADA!...

Well, I kind of got off subject, but it just came to me...so I said it..haha...

Dark side of the moon


I have to say, that anything could be art. Remember the peice on 20/20 where the guy put a wrinkly T-shirt under glass, and called it art. I think he put it up for auction and got 10 thousand for the thing.

The next time I'm in a fowl mood, I'm going to paint my butt red and yellow, and put it against a picture of the world. Thats on those days where I feel like telling the entire world to kiss it.
Art is truely in the eye of the artist, not in what someone else cars art. If thats what they want to call those trucks, so be it.

LMFAO Snake. Micheal, I wasnt bashing, just throwing a little humor in. Art has to be obvious for me to "get", and I dont have much of an imagination either, I never was one for subtle stuff. I feel the same way about music though, especially this new noise.

Oh I'm not bashing, just screwing around. I know if I made something I thought was art, and someone said it wasn't I might get offended to. Just poking a little fun thats all.

Oh, and for all the artists in the world, I am just a dumb unedumacated redneck, so don't pay attention to what I say. Prettiest art I've ever seen was a candy apple red 67 Mustang Convertible, with a 4 on the floor, and a 427 under the hood.
