ROAD TRIP! >>>

It was a sad day when downtown Tacoma contemporary art gallery BKB & Company turned off the lights this past December. It was even sadder to see the Art*o*mat® art vending machine go. BKB owners Corky and Victoria couldn't find a new home in Tacoma for the machine. Therefore, they are returning the machine to its creator, Clark Whittington, in Winston-Salem, NC.

Being that Corky and Victoria lean on the creative side of life, they decided to drive the Art*o*mat® to North Carolina - "roaming gnome" style, stopping to take pictures of the machine in front of roadside attractions along the way. 

And they are blogging their trip, too.

Follow their adventure on the Our Epic Art*o*mat® Road Trip blog here.  The blog is live even though they don't back out of the driveway until Monday.
