Look -- down the road! It's a fish... it's a dragon... it's an art car!

Talk about a hobby with some pizzazz. Cartists, as art car creators are often known, possess visions as varied as the personalities who wander our planet. From their favorite sport, to beloved childhood tales, to Mother Nature, their inspirations are limitless. Some even choose to use the dirt on the car as their palette, while others turn their cars into living art.

Although it may seem that art car creation is only for the art-car-driving enthusiast, this hobby appears to be without limitations. Famous artists have tried their hands at auto artistry, and it has branched out to inspire installation art and permanent public pieces.

Longing to see an art car in person, but not up for hunting them down at Burning Man or in frozen climes? Not to worry. Just make your way to one of the numerous parades to be found throughout the country or stop by a museum. Art car folks are a welcoming crowd and you're sure to be impressed.
