We stopped at a gas station halfway between Duluth and Minneapolis on the way home (see Tuesday for the Duluth story). After our pit stop, there was a car parked by the front door that caught my eye.
As I took photos, the owner walked out with his drink and chips. I complimented him on his art car. He was happy for the comment and said I “had to see the back!” Sure enough, it was right on theme.
We introduced ourselves. Dan told me he was bored one day and started painting his car. (The artist’s legs are portrayed to the left in the photo.) I smiled wondering how long it took to clean the red paint from under his fingernails. I admired the clever detail of the “dead end” sign in the back side window. Dan gets a thumbs up for creativity, for making a conversation starter, and for radical use of his time in my estimation. The horror genre is cohesive and he definitely cannot lose his car in the parking lot!
I gave him my website address and told Dan to watch for my post. 👋 Hola, Dan. Hope you’ll give this northern Minnesotan artist a real Fake Flamenco welcome in the comments!

Well, I call that pretty fabulous! I’m wondering though, what reaction I’d get from ‘Im ‘Indoors if he caught me, quite literally red-handed, customising our car!

Well, redrum is always a classic on a wall. Just hope a guest wouldn’t take it personally. 🙂

Unless you used the guest to make it look that way, I don’t know why they would take it personally. 😆
Could always do it with glow in the dark paint.

I enjoy horror and hayrides and if going to own a vehicle what’s stopping us from enjoying our vehicles to full potential. Wanted something unique and something that hasn’t been seen before so inspired by horror movies and pure enjoyment of hayrides the hellion was born.
