Description Every artist should have a giant eyeball piece in their portfolio.

The girl was originally going to appear in another painting, in the back of a Task Force era GMC, but after drawing the truck in, I realized I didn't factor enough room on the paper for her head.  I could scrap the piece and start over, or delete the girl form the piece and use her elsewhere.  So, here she is.

8.75x13.75 inches, painted in watercolor.

{Reads exposition} What about a surfing White half-track?

Hmm.  I've been toying with the idea of a 50's station wagon half track, or possibly a Travelall.

There's also the original Citroen Kegresse half-traks, and half and full track versions of a Landrover Series (II I think, but a Defender or Wolf (aka a coilie) is definitely too late).

SHOCKA NAR NAR! You could carve real good on the line with a 1958 Buick Roadmaster 75 convertible and here's a Ciara that's rippin'. But what's playing on the radio? Wipeout? Pipeline? No, those are songs for shoobies. Here's a song that is apropos.
Original verse:
"Keep your mind on your drivin'
Keep your hands on the wheel
Keep your snoopy eyes on the road ahead"

But this Emma is singing a modified verse:
"Keep your mind on your carvin'
Keep your tentacles on the wheel
Keep your stinkeye on the surf ahead"
