My entry into the Custom Vehicle Contest at Assembly Required 2017 was my JoeCart GP Entry: The SerpentoRod.

When I originally made the custom, I had envisioned a Fonzie-type driver for it, but just couldn't get it together.

enter drbindy, who got so sick and tired of explaining his vision of my vision back to me, just told me to drop it ... then made me what i wanted ... and sent it to me.

I also had this idea of making some package art for it, in the old Bill Campbell style. After having success with John Jett and the Flynn Stone Vamp package art, I reached out to him again, and he was excited to try something outside his wheelhouse.

due to time constraints, the final artwork was printed the night before AR by Brian Sauer at Saturday Manufacturing and he graciously mounted it to foamcore for my entry display.

I am super happy with how this all came together.

Thoughts?

drbindy did a great job. Wehn you were explaining the packaging look for the art I didn't get it. Seeing it with the figure ti all looks great together.

Should I be proud that I was able to get inside JM70s head well enough to know what he wanted better than he did? Or should I feel dirty? Opinions? 2Dark? Bucky? pluv?

I will say this, I was pretty sure the decal on the jacket would work out, and I was pretty happy with the key chain dangling from his belt. But I was most proud of turning the 25th Derpy Serpy head into this, with sculpting the hair.

I will also say this - you have to love JM's vision of customizing. He's unafraid to enlist the help of others, and by doing so become not just an artist, but also a producer of sorts. And his projects keep getting more an more professional as a result. Most people who know me know that while Joes were a big thing for me as a kid, I'm not especially big on the Joe mythos as an adult. But this take on it was really inspired, and actually has me thinking of ways to expand upon the idea even still. And that's saying something about the creative aspect of this as well.

Bravo buddy.
