Mercedes Pens Door Finished Using Gel Pens


I finally finished my first door panel on the Mercedes Pens Ar Car. I managed to bend a whole bunch of Gel Pens with a heat gun and glue them on the painted door panel in the shape of a tree with 100% Clear silicone. I wanted to see how much further I could take my art using pens. And this time I was able to go a step further by combining acrylic painting as a backdrop for the 3D pen sculpture mounted on the door. One down three more doors to go.

Mercedes Pens Door Pannel Getting a Face Lift

Here is the driver side door panel witch I decided to paint over because the “Mercedes Grey” wasn’t working for my mood. Grey is fine if the rest of the car is grey and your into that sort of drab depressing color. Since my car now is a tad more cheery than that, I decided to paint. This scene has got to be my favority, calm peacefull, full of posibilities. It also represnents growth and hope for the future. The next step is to create a tree created by benting pens with a heat gun and glued right over this scene. I started yesterday and I hope to have this beauty mounted back on the door by the end of the week. Stay tuned.

Also a big hello to my new audience over there in Germany, and Hungary. If any one can tell me what the lady on the video is saying about my car in German, on ehrensenf interenet tv please le me know. I am also looking for more pens so if you have any you want donate please send them to:

Eight Weeks Till ArtCar Fest 07

I have eight weeks to get my car ready for the Bay areas biggest Art Car gathering just west of Sacramento. Basically completely cover my car in pens inside and out. I almost have the outside done. Now I have to finish painting the inside and then cover it with pens. I will change the color of the carpet, get my self some cool fuzzy seat covers, and eventually find some neato spinny rims, that will have pens glued on them. Stay tuned as I update my blog with the latest photos of my progress.
