In 2017, the vehicle was introduced to playa. As an artist, I was completely inspired by what I was able to witness in 2016. As a result, I undertook a huge responsibility to create a brand new art car that would display my artistic vision. I started building the art car in 2016. Since it was my first year building an art car, I under estimated the amount of time it took to prepare something of that magnitude. In 2016, I was responsible for the design, fabrication, transportation, sound and operation of the vehicle. In 2017, I reached out to every professional I knew for advise. Fortunately, I got assistance with sound, lighting and construction. The result was spectacular. Our team did exceptional in preparing the vehicle.

The Giving Tree art car brings a unique one of a kind immersive experience to the imagination of creation. She's a willow tree that stands 25 feet tall, 28 feet long, 24 feet wide. Her trunks base is 21 feet long, 8 feet wide. It's a unmutilated 1989 Blue Bird short bus tiny home that hides inside her trunk which makes for a very grounded mobile or stationary tree house on wheels. You can ascend up a 6 foot tree ladder through a hatch door that lets you access the upper rooftop party deck. In the center of the rooftop the trunk continues up with a 5 foot tree ladder to a crows nest also with safety railings. From the crows nest just under the top canopy of willow branches the views of any event are spectacular.
Glorb is a fully electric remote controlled art car designed to showcase the transition to an all electric sustainable future. Don't try to listen or smell for Glorb's approach, because Glorb is silent with a delightful lack of gasoline fumes that are common on so many art cars. Your ears and nose are no good here. To find Glorb, you must use your eyes or your heart. Look for a bright glowing cube at night, a holographic rainbow cube during the day, and follow the feeling of the vibes of love and friendship in your heart.

By night, red, white, and blue LED lighting and moving beams bring the structure to life across the playa. Traveling through the city and open desert, the bridge offers rides, music, and cold beverages to dusty travelers, welcoming all citizens of Black Rock City to cross, connect, and share the journey.

Exterior profile lighting defines the vehicle's shape at night, enhancing visibility while preserving its dramatic outline.

Meet Harriett the Hippo-MOOP-potamus—part majestic mutant vehicle, part relentless MOOP-enforcer, and 100% here to keep Black Rock City clean (with a side of sass). Inspired by Hungry Hungry Hippos, she's an offensively pink two-seater, battery-powered party hippo, rolling through the dust with giant googly eyes, LED bling, and a mission: Leave No Trace or feel her judgy hippo stare. Harriett doesn't just give joyrides—she guilt-trips Burners into picking up trash. See some stray MOOP? Scoop it up like your Playa cred depends on it (because it does).

To build our art car we decided to use a recycled, crashed, fully electric Nissan Leaf as the base car. We have striped apart the car, leaving the interior half, motor, battery system, and other elements necessary to leave the art car operational and high voltage safe and secure to drive on the Playa. The "sculpture" have been elevated and braced six feet over the platform with vertical supports enough to stabilize the piece during its ride and to possible high winds/storms at the Playa. The platform and the sculpture is well-illuminated with yellow/orange/gold LED lights in different shapes. We have 3 low-pressure steady flames (one in each antenna and a third one in the sting) fueled by propane tanks placed inside the platform.
