The Fiat…

That’s right, it’s a Fiat.

It’s not to often I stray from “American” cars. I believe this is only the second. And wait, what?!…it doesn’t even have any chrome on it! It’s got a plastic bumper and it’s like sort of new or at least only 20 years old…or less (I don’t actually know the year of this one-if anyone has any suggestions feel free to comment). Perhaps the Moroccan location of this car and the hot sun beating down on this little guy inspired me. Friends feed me car photos all the time and few stick but this one did. Thanks SharaNikoPhoto!

Sal’s Ride (RIP)

sliderarts — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 17:15:34 +0000

There is an interesting story that goes along with this particular car. It goes back to when I purchased my first car that started my whole car painting craze. It was a 1973 Dodge Dart purchased from an old man named Winsper in Warwick Rhode Island. My husband and I drove it back to our Rockaway Beach studio. Quickly I understood I needed a mechanic. I was referred to one in Long Island City by a neighbor from our Brooklyn days. His name was Sal and he ran a somewhat underground garage with no windows and a few big crazy dogs. Sal worked on mostly classic cars and did custom paint jobs (did I say there where no windows or vents in his garage?)

Sal was a short Italian guy (I think I had 3 inches on him at 5 ft 2) who only drove really big cars including this pink Cadillac with tricked out fins and a late 60′s two toned Lincoln. Sal was also an Elvis impersonator. I wish I had taken more pictures because the guy had the trunk of this car lined with satin and filled with Elvis collectables. He was into it.

He was not the greatest mechanic, but he wasn’t a gouger either. I drove the dart with a broken tie rod for the first year and a half I had the car thinking that was just how they handled. Eventually, he was unreachable due to numerous hospital visits for some respiratory illness. I think well of him and I often wonder where that ol’ car might be now.

Get Your Art On: MegaDeck at 2nd Nature Skate Park

MegaDeck II re-opened a few weeks ago at 2nd Nature Skate Park in Peekskill NY. Here is a little intro video into the space taken on opening night:

I have three skate boards in this show and am in the company of some talented artists. In addition to celebrating the art on opening night, there was also a good bit of shenanigans. It is a skate park after all. Folks brought their kids (of all ages).

Myself and a fellow cohort put on our roller skates and tried to figure out how roller skates can work on a mini half pipe.

Niko Tavernise’s 65 pound bullet board got a ride.
