The Immaculate M.E.rcedes Art Car by Martin Reese

Martin Reese is a 28-year-old artist based in Daytona Beach Miami and heavy duty sports fans who turned this 1983 Mercedes-Benz into a mobile mural for the Miami Heat in just a few days. He is also the artist who painted the same car for Steelers fans in time for the super bowl last year.

Despite the fact that he did not have tickets to the game it did not stop Martin from driving his Immaculate Mercedes art car 300 miles down to Miami to be with fans in time for the big game.

He wanted to show off his favorite player LeBron [James] and create a work of art that really expressed the passion for the game that he, [Dwyane] Wade, and [Chris] Bosh show while also representing the city’s atmosphere.

The whole process took about 100 hours, began Wednesday [June 13] and finished the following Monday. He really wanted to have the car done by Game 3 so some of the painting session took as long as 24 hours. There is nothing like a little "heat" to get the job done in time.

Reese has many works of art displayed on his web site, including many tributes to famous artist and athletes. He also has a large collection of painted paddles in case you have aesthetic or disciplinary needs in the near future.
