Top Gear wrote about an exhibit of cars made to look like comics illustrations:
An artist called Joshua Vides is presenting his latest art highlighting automotive culture at LA’s Petersen Automotive Museum in a new exhibition entitled ‘Flat Out: The Art of Joshua Vides”. Tin, what it says, pretty much, on, etc.
Only this isn’t what it says on the tin, because Vides’ art isn’t really going flat out. Instead, it’s been made to look like a giant, real-life comic book sketch, and you’ll spend a considerable portion of your day just gawping trying to figure out how he’s done it.
According to the Petersen, Vides “painstakingly hand-paints crisp black lines onto all-white surfaces to create monochromatic graphic artwork that resembles flat comic book sketches”. So, that’ll do it.
Wow, that’s pretty fancy alright. Congratulations to the guy for his marvelous nod to comicdom with this vehicular form of artwork.
