It all began as a bad, oxidized paint job. Science teacher Josh Keller started noodling around with ideas in paint derived from the geometric patterns in Moroccan architecture and carpets, and before you knew it . . . WOW! One of the most hypnotic art cars in the Northwest had been born. Since this picture was taken, authentic Middle Eastern patterns have been added to hubcaps and rearview mirrors as well.
Our photo
shows FEZ at Stanley Park during the September 2001 Funky ArtCar Fest in
Vancouver, B.C. Jittery Vancouverites (who, like their Stateside brethren,
badly needed something to laugh about only days after the 9-11 catastrophe)
found ample cause for broad grins as the fun-lovin' Cartists of two nations
cavorted on the broad lawns of Vancouver's gracious parks and blew bubbles
gaily to
the breezes.
