Head for the hills. The giant ants are coming.
On his drive down from Virginia, Lufkin native David Schwartz has prompted more than a few double-takes with his distinctive yellow and brown art car, which is festooned with giant metal ants carrying things like a model of the Statue of Liberty and toy cows.
"I always tell my students, 'You can learn a lot about people by studying animals,'" Schwartz, an assistant professor of philosophy at Randolph-Macon Women's College in Lynchburg, Va., said with a smile Thursday as a small crowd of onlookers gave his odd ride a once-over.
Schwartz will drive his "ant-mobile" in the Everyones Art Car Parade through downtown Houston Saturday. The 270-vehicle parade, which starts at 1 p.m., is part of a three-day event called EV1.Net Art Car Weekend.
"I went to graduate school at Rice, and I've always loved the Houston Art Car Parade," Schwartz said. "I've always wanted to make an art car, and I started on this one about a year ago. I wasn't really intending to put it in the parade, but I sent a picture of it to the people that are organizing it, and they asked me to be a part of it."
Work on the eye-catching ant-mobile started about a year ago, Schwartz said. Some of his students helped paint the grass on the side of his 1984 Volvo. The car also features an ant hill on its roof.
Over the course of his three-day drive to Texas, Schwartz has answered his share of questions about his art car. He said whenever he and his friends stop for gas, they often wind up talking to curious people for 45 minutes.
Schwartz grew up in Angelina County and graduated from Lufkin High School in 1979. His parents, who died last year, owned Lee's Jewelers in downtown Lufkin.
The EV1.Net Art Car Weekend will start Friday and run through Sunday. It will include a street festival, the art car parade, a carnival and a legendary ball. Columnist Kinky Friedman will serve as the parade's grand marshal. For more information about the events, visit the Web site at www.orangeshow.org/artcar.html.
"What began in 1988 with 40 decorated vehicles and a handful of onlookers has grown into an event of unprecedented scale attracting participants from all over the world, making Houston ground zero of an international phenomenon," the Web site stated. "For hundreds of car artists from across the country, the art car parade is a communal celebration and a chance to show their work to an estimated 250,000 people.
"Scores of lowriders, classic cars, costumed roller skaters, musicians on floats, bicyclists, hot-rodders and hard-to-classify rolling contraptions join in and and shine in the spotlight."
