Surf Weirdos #14

As it turns out, the rear engine layout of the Chevrolet Corvair Van makes it extremely maneuverable in all kinds of waves (in my mind).

9.25x13.75 inches, painted in watercolor.  Available on Daily Paintworks.

Surf Weirdos #4

I have a theory about 1960's vans.  It states that a '60's van looks best when painted the color of a Skittle or an M&M.  Supermarket M&Ms only, please. No special order colors allowed.  Except Electric Green.

The exception to this rule is if you plan to put a Star Wars or Battlestar Galactica. montage on your ride.  In that case, the appropriate base color is Licorice Black.

I would further recommend that the shag carpet interior be done in earth tones, but it's not absolutely required.  And for Pete's sake, bolt down that lava lamp!

Painted in watercolor, 8x9 inches.  Original painting available at Daily Paintworks.
Prints available on ebay.

Surf Weirdos #3

It's not as easy as you might think to surf a van.  They're more expensive than boards, surprisingly, sometimes costing thousands of dollars.  Maintenance is more costly as well, as there are more parts and more fluids involved than even the most finicky wood boards require.  The weight makes paddling out a Herculean effort, unless you can afford an outboard motor.  Steering on a wave is more hope and prayer than actual result.  Rust is always a worry, and draining after a wipeout can take weeks.  But nothing can replace that look on people's faces when you wash up on the beach after hangin' ten in a van.

Painted in oil on a 6x8 inch panel.  Available for purchase here.

Aerial Weirdos #9

"Get the burner lit!  The shotgun's just pissing it off!"

Will they escape the disembodied tentacles with nanoseconds to spare, or will the Econoline end up as Digested Weirdo #1?
