Thanks - It's rather eye catching isn't it Brian - there was a Bugstock event in OC today - was fun walking around

 

[Brian Moore]

Where was it?

 

[Paul Lange]

I would have loved to have been there. Oscar peeking out of the bin made me laugh.

 

[Glenn Clabo]

I have to admit...the title got me...until I saw the turn single. Great colors...love the 60's feel.

At the OC Fairgrounds - $2 to get in, and that gave you entry to the weekend market as well - bargain!

The whole bus was a hoot Paul - someone has spent a lot of tim eon it, and it's still not finished!

Thanks Glenn - glad the turn signal gave you the clue

We lost power Friday morning and subsequent surges fried my cable box. They had to replace the thing (Verizon FIOS had a busy weekend up this way) which they didn't get to until about 3 yesterday afternoon. No communication--Phone, TV, Internet--all out. Otherwise I might have been there, too. (Got some reading done though, and that was very nice.)

Nice beetle's bonnet

Super stuff Chris. I'd be tempted to crop in even close to make it truly abstract. Even so, I like this very much and could imagine it being quite commercial.

 

[Aaron Quinn]

I really like both. Interesting composition. If you don't mind me sharing one I took at the Sacramento Bug-In back in '12. My focus is off though...

OMG - I think I'd loose it if my comms went down completely!

I think there's a… 1:1 crop…. in there somewhere Pete, for the abstract

Ahhhh, so is this a whole style of distressed bug then?
