CHESHIRE CAT bread truck by Larry Steiner, defunct Seattle art car
This wild invention is the brainchild of Larry Steiner, and covers one side of his El Steiner van, a vintage Step-Van bread delivery truck. This selection shows Larry's bodacious talent as a draftsman and caricaturist. His outrageous sense of humor and put-on finds expression in Jordan the Cat, possibly a surrogate for Larry himself. The van's sides also play host to painted Blue Meanies, a purple dragon, a white elephant teapot, and a stars-and-stripes front grille. The interior is a bazaar stocked with weird figurines and funky fabrics, a rich experience in its own right!

Our site also shows the tailgate of this same vehicle. Larry has since created a number of beautiful and noteworthy Art Cars and live-in vans and buses.
