Kevin Cyr Van Painting Series

Now this is really rather odd and I don’t know if it is purely coincidence or inspiration but do you remember a post I did back in february called ‘Vans And The Places Where They Were‘ about a guy called Joe Stevens who had taken pictures of various awesome retro vans whilst out on his travels since 1996? Ring any bells? No? Well go and read it then fool!

Anyway his site is here and it has an awful side scrolling bit to it. Now guess what I came across today… Another site with the exact same template! This might not sound too weird because lots of sites use the same basic layouts but the thing is this site has side to side pictures of… wait for it… old skool vans!

Only this time the vans are a series of paintings done by an artist called Kevin Cyr and I can’t quite tell who did what project first but im inclined to say that Kevin Cyr looks like he has done paintings of Joe Stevens project. The paintings are very cool though and are of gratified up old American vans, so no matter who did what and how weird it is they have the same site, it is definitely worth giving him a visit at Kevincyr.net

This is my favourite though, massive tyres, portholes and graffiti that makes it look like it comes from a bad neighbourhood make it look suitably bad ass!

If anyone knows anything about either of the projects or if they are indeed related in some way let me know!
