Contest 123: Paint your wagon
After the tricky challenge we faced last week, here's one that should prove to be fun and easy - and should give free rein to your creative juices.

I've got this photo of a rather dull white van. Seems to me it could do with a new paint job. It also needs a location. Since I'm off to Paris this afternoon for the weekend, that might be a good starting point...

High res is here.

Sorry - not meant to be judged next Friday - just one of my little rants ! Now that I've got that off my chest I'll set forth with a proper project.

IT`s been a long time and I've missed doing this.
Just had to use one of those lovely skeletons again.
For no reason other that they look sooo good.

Thanks Tom,

I knew these skeletons were up to no good and I just couldn't resist myself doing this.....(It's been a long time so I hope I'm allowed two:-)

WOW!! I don't know if that bright wagon fits on the streets of Paris, but it will be noticed.
I took the wagon to the body shop, repaired the dents and placed a few decals.

Not quite a paint job but still art... perhaps if I have time I will decorate the van to match the surroundings.

Babybiker,
Didn't mean to pinch your idea. Is this how Steve got to Paris?

Any one remember the borrowers? They are getting more brazen these days.

At the recent Launch of the new LDV Vitruvian at the Louvre, a Promotions Executive was overheard saying to the Curator "We're a little short today and haven't got the Monet to buy Degas to make the Van Gogh!"
