bubble gum hummer

December 2nd, 2008 ethereal

found this project while looking for hummer clip art. yes, hummer clip art.

“This life-sized gum-ball covered HumVee comments on pop culture and
reminds us of soldiers handing candy to children in far-flung countries
at war with us.”

artist: heidi hesse
site

i was looking for said clip art because i was trying to visualize what 8113 M kg of Co2 looks like and thought i could convert that to the carbon output of a fleet of hummer h3s. so i wanted to share this interesting project with you.

to note, when i searched for “hummer” on clipart.com, the query returned only the vector image of a lobster. how odd. or is it some twisted metaphor? just not sure.
