My Dad has a car with spots and pointy shapes all over it. He gets to drive it in parades sometimes. But that's not important. The important thing is that Sparky and I get to come along!

This is the top of Jan Elftmann's "Holy Circle" car.
Can you find me in the picture?

Parades are good places to find little squealing girls, all dressed in the same color.

This is Jocko, I think he might be French,
so we gave him kisses on the cheek

He has his own artcar,
He drives from the back seat.

My favorite car is "Mercedes Bonz",
by BJ Zander.

Sparky was wondering if the doors come off.

This is Arrow, we met him at the official ArtCar Parade, in Minneapolis. He's only a few months old, so he's pretty new. I'VE been around artcars all summer!

Dogs chase cars,
but monsters
chase dogs in cars.

This is Mina Leierwood's monster, so that's okay.

This is the
Sashimi Tabernacle Choir.
Yes, really.

This was made by Richard Carter, he has trained the fish and lobsters
to dance and sing lots of songs. Really.

Sparky said, "No thank you.", when everything started moving at once.

But oh, what if
these were real fish,
sitting here for days,
on top of a hot car?
Wouldn't that be wonderful!

This is Allen Christian's
House of Ballsmobile.

ArtCars and dogs go together-- we both love to go for rides and have people smile at us.
