If you are creating an art car, then you have probably already considered and decided to take photos documenting what it looks like before and after the work – but have you considered blogging the whole experience? Back when the movement started, art cars stood alone, with only their creators and their fans even really knowing they existed. But with a blog it is possible to really make the experience interactive and have a self-archiving memory bank for the whole process, and make the whole experience even more rewarding.

When undertaking any project, it is likely that you will be either filled with trepidation about it or hugely confident about creating the best work possible. Sometimes, though, it does not go as expected and this can color your desire to create another art car. By journalising what you can do, you give yourself a little bit of impetus to stick at it and make sure you do a good job, while also giving yourself something to look back on if you should have doubts in the future. It also allows people to follow your progress and encourage you as you go along. There are many art car blogs out there, including at least one by the biggest art car star of them all, Harrod Blank. Why not take inspiration?
