Car covered in computer keys

Spotted in Los Angeles, a car covered with bazillions of keys that appear to
be from video editing systems or computer keyboards. It was beautiful, like
a crazy geek mosaic. Shot and uploaded with Treo 650.

Awesome! People here at work are now considering stealing keyboards and ambushing a coworker's car.

There are a few of these around. One parks regularly in the parking lot of the old Bob Clampett studios on Seward. Sweet!

One of the key-car creators is going to flickr some better pics for us -- they apparently have one with Homer Simpson on the front hood! Sweet!
This *would* make an excellent prank, though time-consuming. Maybe just paste an actual qwerty keyboard replica on the door or something, huh. That would freak someone out pretty good.

it's a kind of crossover between car tuning and computer case (and kbd) tuning... impressive :D

I found some of these recently while checking up on various keyboards, as per my keyboard fetish:

Great shot! And it's even taken with a Treo! (I got my Treo not too long ago so I'm still in the gaga stage over it) :)

This is my car. For anyone wondering, it's a 1993 Subaru Impreza covered with around 100lbs of colored keys designed for old Telex (teletype) machines. The keys were attached with silicon caulk over a period of 4 years, off and on (mainly off). Later, we had enough left over to do the much-improved D'Oh Mobile that belongs to a friend of mine. That one sports several mosaic designs laid out thru Tile Creator software. You can see other artcars at www.artcars.com. Feel free to e-mail me with other questions or if you have a computer key car idea (and available car)--- we have lots of pink and white keys left.
