Crude prison pointilism or crafty commercial creatures?

(Finding a Boris Vallejo that's appropriate for the office was quite a chore, BTW)

I do know the planetary artists, I'm often forced to inhale their noxious fumes on Market & Telegraph. The pictures they paint remind me of the murals at my favorite childhood video arcade, Starbase One.

there was a courrier at the old firm I used to work for in p@lo alto who had a trunkload of that galactic crap. he was giving most of it away.

Market & Telegraph, eh? hmmmmm....

― adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 18 October 2004 20:55 (twenty-one years ago)

Market & Telegraph, respectively. Anyone that paints with a lazy susan SHOULD be working sidewalks, in my humble opinion.

This was painted on an Impala, and would therefore seem to illustrate a close relationship between lowrider & fantasy... I need to get out more.

what about van art? you know, with the bubble mini windows and the side and back panel wizard spraypaint? same stuff, right. serious 1975-85s suburb culture.(for me at least) the guys across the street from me had z-28s with blue and white lightning wizard-with-crystal ball flames.

then there were the redneck/heavy metal st0ner vans with the wide mouth bass and fishing line or white tigers, crazy fun

ok, it's just me then.

Van art combines the best of both: the space barbarians and naked chicks of fantasy art with the airbrushing-onto-your-car of lowrider art. It seems to be dying out. Can't we get an NEA grant to keep this important folk art going?

serious, tell the right wing folks they can have jesus painted onto a van too. i remember a van from the old neighborhood with 'last dinner' 'final judgement' scenes

I think all Americans can get behind this.

― Nemo (JND), Tuesday, 19 October 2004 18:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Especially if it is airbrushed onto a custom van.
