“Urban UFO” Creator Turns Cars Into Works of Art

Wednesday, 22 January 2014 | by Pat's Picks

The San Francisco Chronicle introduces us to Eric Staller, an artist who creates what he calls “urban UFOs.” There’s a gray VW Beetle called the Lightmobile adorned with 1,659 lightbulbs. There’s also the Bubbleboat, a floating craft that resembles a silver Hostess Sno Ball and the Big Bang Theory, a 1970 Fiat 500 with 10 bowling pins sticking out the passenger-side door. Of the Lightmobile, Staller says “I defy people not to laugh or smile at it.”
