Riding In Style (The Art Of Kevin Cyr)

I'm really loving these tagged up van paintings by artist Kevin Cyr. As time passes we are seeing less and less of the classic vans and work vehicles on the road. Kevin's art is in a way a record of these under appreciated vans that will help cement their place as classic American vehicles.

Introducing: The Camper Kart

Inspired by Cormac McCarthy's novel The Road (and the film of the same name that opened this week) artist Kevin Cyr has created a shopping cart that you can live in. Although large enough to house the artist who is 5'8 Cyr views this as more of a piece of art than functional design telling the LA Times:

"I don't consider myself a designer. These are pieces of sculpture. My work is about making a statement. It's about getting people to talk about these issues."
