Bumper Cars and Artpology

This beautiful hand painted sign above follows the shape of the building, advertising to the amusement park visitors that there is a bumper car ring here. This sign is perhaps an often overlooked element of painstakingly hard work designed and painted in great detail with interchanging colors and consistent fonts. Are we losing this art form to vinyl printing and computers?  

The images of the daily life are collected by us to help understand the beauty of the world around us. We call this Artpology. By taking pictures we collect images of the space we see to take home and contemplate. By making a digital image of the hand painted sign we make art from art to rethink the value of a mundane and to appreciate the beauty of the everyday.
