'They will cut off your arm for yourjewelry.' This was in October , when I went on a Caribbean cruisewhich, among other islands, stopped in the country of Belize. AsI have a friend whom I'll call Natalia who grew up in Belize,this made me curious as to how the people actually lived. Instead of jumping on a tour bus, I decided to get out of mycomfort zone and go off the beaten path. I found a group of menstanding outside the gates of the port, clamoring for customersto get into their cabs.

There were literally restaurantsbut only one that I knew of never, never advertised ' anywhere. It was not large or overly elegant in dcor.

Each color that is printedhas a separate plate, and the cards have to be run through thepress for each color chosen.

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 08:10:48 -0400

Ever since the first car was produced, it's been an art objectas well as a practical device. We love to look at all sorts ofcars. We care about our own cars and we are very aware of whatthey say about us and our tastes. A red sports car makes a verydifferent statement from a gray van. Why do we spend so much time and money keeping up the finish ofour cars? Again, it's an artistic matter, perhaps a combinationof pride of ownership with the knowledge that people somehowidentify us with what we drive around in.Car art isn't limited to just the cars themselves. There aremany forms of art that use cars. Whether or not you consideradvertising an art form or a nuisance, the many ads for cars --or for other things but using cars in them -- are a significantpart of the history of car art.Another form of car art is movies. Films use cars in them, tofurther the plot of course, but also to make statements aboutwho the characters are. A lot of the wild rides you can enjoyvicariousl...
