Car wraps are constantly in our face. If I see one more Scion wrapped with ads for Steve's Hibachi Hut, I think I'm gonna scream. Fortunately, sweet relief is being provided by some people taking matters into their own hands. I wonder why it's taken this long for artists to liberate auto wraps from the tyranny of advertising. This wood-wrapped Opel is amazing. Check out the old-world joinery. Check out the truth in materials. I wonder if it floats? Details are scarce, but according to the photo, it originally came from the (awesomely anarchic) AutoZoo.ru.

This body of work was created during a Summer 2010 residency at the Pottery Workshop in Jingdezhen, China. These porcelain vessels explore traditional Chinese iconography as refracted through a decidedly Western point of view.
