| Artist Quote |
“The term ‘Hot Rod’ came out of the 50’s with cars being modified to one’s tastes. Later came the pin striping and flames used to decorate these cars. My penguin is a reflection of this automotive art form, which has gotten more and more refined since the 50’s. I touched on a few examples from the fading of colors to a multi colored pinstripe design. With a traditional colored flame job up to the front, the words Hot Rod fit well.” |
