An artist called Joshua Vides is presenting his latest art, highlighting automotive culture at LA’s Petersen Automotive Museum in a new exhibition entitled Flat Out: The Art of Joshua Vides. Tin, what it says, pretty much, on.
Only this isn’t what it says on the tin, because Vides’ art isn’t really going flat-out. Instead, it’s been made to look like a giant, real-life comic-book sketch, and you’ll spend a considerable portion of your day just gawping and trying to figure out how he’s done it.
According to the museum, Vides “painstakingly hand-paints crisp black lines onto all-white surfaces to create monochromatic graphic artwork that resembles flat comic-book sketches.” So, that’ll do it.

For Flat Out, Vides apparently spent nine days hand-painting the heck out of the five cars on display, including a delightful old Mercedes, Porsche, and Ferrari. Not just the cars, but walls and other bits, too, transforming the Armand Hammer (yes, that one) Foundation Gallery into a comic-book style mechanic’s garage.
Want to step inside a real-life comic book? The show is running until July next year.
