The alpohorn! That is the candy cane thing running left to right above the truck shiny brass bell....Done on time! A wonder! Plays great. 

mouthpiece end of alphorn above drivers door 

The bell of the alphorn- so good to have something actually happen and get done. Refreshing in a year when everything seems to be way behind schedule. 

At last an Alphorn on the truck! It is the thing looking like a candy cane leading from mouthpiece center bottom right to bell in back. 

Ready to head to Louisville- tires repainted dots applied loaded up..... 

Ready for Louisville trip 

mr dot has arrived....newly refurbished magnet truck hat!  

mr. dot note refurbished magnet truck hat! 

mr dot...hot 

Mr dot...again! 

The horns are glued on the truck and ride on the Magnet truck every day. They sound great under bridges and tunnels! The largest is a tuba which can be seen to the top right covered with toys of all kinds. The horn hat is covered with bright beeds and mirrors. Great for hands free playing. Get your child interested in playing a brass instrument! Come on down to the artcar festival the first weekend in August in Louisville and get them started! It is free! 

There are almost twenty different horns- a virtual horn orchestra! Bring your brass group down and try it out!  

Conrad Bladey Horn Hatter and Artcar Artists invites you to pick a horn to play! Brass horns are connected via plastic tubes to horns glued on the truck! Conrad models one of his horn hats made from a french horn. Come on down to the festival and toot your own horn- maybe try out a horn hat....

although I am religious I am not a bible beater...mr smith wanted me to look like I am preaching to go with the bible story of adam and eve....I never preach...except about artcars.... 

Re-doing the tail gate...it now reads- drive art and live and art is freedom...and has the tailgate text about the origins of the garden of eden. The Images left to right are god, eve, the tree and adam...mr smith 

The coin slots wore out so I made new ones...another from mr. smith

So hard to get people to accept doll heads for the portraits- busts that they are. Each one is a generalized baby but so accurate...another from Mr. Smith 

A week or so ago Mr. Smith from the army journalism school came by and took this series....enjoy....barbies.... 

Verses against the sky....the gas lid will have a half apple soon....Must be patient and wait to clear coat so the paint does not crinkle-hope the weather holds until tomorrow noon.
