Art Cars at Folkfest

Here are some pictures of "Art Cars" that were parked outside of this year's Folkfest:



This is Chris Hubbards "Heaven and Hell Car" (link)


















I have no idea whose truck/van thingie this is, but it's pretty darn cool.



This car belongs to Deacon Gary, the GA Mojo Man. Creator and purveyor of handcrafted spiritual curios and allegedly genuine souvenir mojos [his words]. (link)




This vehicle belongs to C.M. and Grace Kelly Laster (link)







And I don't know, but I suspect that this truck may belong to Grahame Eggleston, given his affinity for bottle caps (link)
