Fun & Funk – Artsy Cars

I don’t know if I’ll be driving one of these new, fancy “funk-artsy” (my new word for 70’s retro meets modern art)  cars down the street but I was impressed with their completely new and different design. These were unveiled recently at The Tokyo Auto Show.

I’m curious about the aerodynamics of this next one but I like its sleek design the best. Oddly, it reminds me of the camcorder the guy in the photo is holding + memories of a family Winnebago camper trip that I only wish had been this sophisticated.

Not sure how this works but this Toyota VII Concept Car from Honda allows one to be able to change the exterior of the car via a computer or Smartphone.

I'm an artist, wife and mother of two boys. I started my illustration business, The Occasional Palette over 35 years ago, when my oldest son was an infant. Once my children were in school, I began painting decorative, faux finishes and murals through my second business, Casart, now over 30 years old. My third business, Casart Coverings, is a springboard from my second.
