Harrod Blank and his CameraVan

Meet Harrod Blank. He asks:

what has 2000 eyes
runs on smiles
and travels at the speed of an artists dream?

The answer of course is his Cameravan!

Check it out! Every inch of spare space has been covered in working antique cameras. He cruises the streets of San Francisco, London, or Paris capturing the amazed expressions of people gawking at his masterpiece.

This is the man himself, decked out in his "Flasher Suit", a 68-pound creation, made from over 2,000 antique flash cubes. Designed to accompany the Camera Van, it took four months to make and requires two 6-volt battery packs and constant maintenance to keep its 100+ actively flashing bulbs flashing! Every inch is covered: the front, the back, the sleeves, the inseam, even his shoes and hat.

He has even composed his own song to go with the van.
It goes like this.
I've got a vision, of making people smile,
gonna cover my van in cameras, even though it might take a while.
Gonna build a cameravan. Gonna build a cameravan.

Visit his website to go on a virtual tour of the van, and hear the Camera Van song in all its glory!

The Cameravan is only one of his fabulous creations. I'll be posting some more soon!
