The Automobile

I've been noticing that a lot of what we've done here on the BSS Challenge is character based. In order to stretch us a bit further than we would normally be stretched, this week's challenge is not to draw a character, but to draw an automobile. Yes, the automobile. Man's greatest fusion of engineering and design. Sure, there's some ugly cars out there, but some of the most beautiful peices of art ever created are on four wheels. So, go draw a car. You pick which one. Is it the Lamborgini of your childhood dreams, or the Honda of your current reality? Or is it a totally made up car no one has seen before? Show us.

Wonderful wonderful project... just one nitpick: I subscribe to this feed, and y'alls feed over at Flickr... but I haven't seen anything at Flickr in ages!

It may be user error... but you may want to check into that.

: )

Nah, it's just user lazyness. Thanks for subscribing though!

willie... that ice cream truck is sick! Not to mention it makes me yearn for the Bay Area, land of sun, abysmally bad football teams and It's Its!!!

It's-Its. Hmm, perplexing. Perhaps foreign frozen treats? H20 containment spheres? Doesn't matter to me, these cars are down right dandy doodle.

For anyone who has neve tasted an "It's It " Ice cream bar, you have been denied the greatest treasure this world has to offer. they are sold in San Francisco.

It is two oatmeal cookies, stuffed with ice cream and covered in chocolate. And to any New yorker who replies that a "Chipwich" is just as good...you are clearly insane.

So you're telling me if I bought two oatmeal cookies, a box of vanilla ice cream, and some hershies syrup, it wouldn't taste the same?

Anyways rad cars everyone.

I stumbled across BSS only about a week ago, only to become increasingly inspired with each contributing piece. I was wondering why there were such few posts when the quality is outstanding! ... Only to find out it's closed to outsiders, such as myself. hehe

Ah well, I'll still participate. It'll keep me creating. :D

Great work guys.
