Blue Man 01: Crossroads

Loving this Blue Man series !! I had a VW bus xactly like this in the 70’s, always wondered where it went! John

Amazing Syd!!

Hey Syd, My back is turned and you go super-prolific! I feel a calendar coming on. Great stuff. Is this the first off that new super computer you bought from Cray? :-) – Dave

I was working on all 12 of these for last 3 months, bought the new Dell (not Cray, that’s what they used in Jurassic Park for gene sequencing) right in the middle, and waited till all 12 were done. Whew!!

Excellent work indeed. Love the soft hues and tones of the mood.

How amazing…this is stunning work…love the combi…...excellent in every way….

Love these old vw’s…great work on this!

I love how you’ve put the Blue man in a Kombi…sort of ironic;)

Wonderful image

fabulous work of art!

This got a chuckle out of me :)

Thanks, hope the series provides a few more!

Amazing work!!

Thank you, hope you like the series as well!

cool shot-beautiful scenery and colors- love the van!

You’d be surprised how many van comments! Cracks me up!!

Great work, well done

Thank you Sir, Thank you!!

Love the series this one is great but are you sure it’s a man he seems to be looking at a map? LOL!

Man yes, map yes, I suppose sometime we should visit His home, eh?

Great image!

Many thanks, I’ve been at similar crossroads before, sometimes without even a map.

lovely world…

Thank you again, it’s almost our world, but not quite. The forthcoming Blue Man image will prove that!

love this series of images…original, creative and inspiring…and thats a good combination to have!!

Thank you, my friend, Blue Man is preparing for more adventures, he’ll let me know what his schedule is.

Nice Syd, I think relatives of Blue Man have probably visited some of my worlds at one time or another…...yer think?

Thanks AV, I’m sure of it, he’s fond of travel in a non-invasion sort of way, no tripods of abductions, maybe a small crop circle or two.

Beautiful work

Thank you, JE, Blue Man seems to make his space brighter wherever he goes!

Excellent artwork Syd!!

Ohh, many thanks!

ha ha this is a great series mate great stuff

Thank you, my friend, like a small story, I suppose there’s a lot of myself in blue Man, crossroads for one!

& bravo for the WV van ! :)

your lighting is incredible!

Thanks, I am quite pleased with myself about the van!

Thank you again, I did struggle to get it right on this one, but worth it!

“Lost” inspiration ?

No, just a vacation, and he has a map and signpost and everything!

Very well done. Kind of reminds me of Ken Kesey, if you remember his gonzo crew & trip with the psychedelic painted VW Van?

Aha, published as Further Inquiry by the same, and his Merry Pranksters? I have no recollection of these events…

beautiful artwork. amazing :) love the VW, the map and of course, the mountains in the background :)

Thanks a bunch, of course you’d like the mountains!! The map is created from a real one of Minnesota!

This is great….terrific touch of humour!

Thank you lots, you too I can tell from that delightful profile photo of yours!!

love it!

Thank you lots, neither he nor I had any idea what this beginning of his road trip would generate, it’s really rather exciting!! And there will be more from Blue Man, stay tuned!

Whimsical and lovely…..Oh what fun! the combi is fabulous!

Thank you again, I had another vehicle in mind and am ever so glad I went with the window van!

I so want to be him, love the van (my dream to be a hippy with one of these and run away from the world). great work, cheers.

Thankyou so much! I managed to go traveling for a number of years in the 70’s, but was lacking a vehicle the whole time; fact is when hitchhiking back then, if you saw any van coming you’d almost always get a ride!

Fabulous work here

Thank you so very much, the crossroad is just the beginning for many things!

delightful viewing

Thank you, friend, I can remember a few crossroads back in the day…

Hey Syd, this is a lot of fun! And incredible work too! I love it that this visitor’s vehicle of choice is a Combie! Of course it is! I love the 70’s feel of the light and your 3D skills. Can’t wait to see more of the Blue Man’s adventures – this was my introduction!

May you enjoy, and welcome! I couldn’t stop after the initial 12 for the calendar, so off I go!!

Cool, NIce job.

fantastic!

Thanks once again solomon, this is in honor of some of the major crossroads in my life.

Thanks Walter, did spend some time on this one, gotta get it right!

I Dig this!

Thanks Heidi, I almost used another vehicle, but chose that VW van at the last minute… I think that fits Blue Man perfectly!

This is a beautiful image, and interesting. The van makes me think of the one just like it that they found on The Island in the series ‘Lost.’ I wonder if blue man might have a bagua patch sewn somewhere on that blue suit….? :)

Thanks for sharing. I’ll have to check out the rest of the series.

-Katya

Never watched Lost, someone else asked me about that, I was going to use an entirely different car, and chanced upon the van idea at last minute. And never regretted it!

yup, that’s my van…and what I felt like when I lived near Lake of the Ozarks mid 70’s…
very cool work, Syd!

Thanks Scott, that’s the van I always wanted, and during the 70’s hitchiking if you saw one of these coming, instant ride!

This is so cool! Lovve it….........

Thanks for popping by my page and your comment, too!

Thank you again, a shade from my own traveling days!

lol…love it….terrific work…hope little blue man found his way to where he was heading :)

If you follow the numbers you’ll see it’s like a story, this is 1, on thru 12!

Is this what it has come to… The Evolution Of The Hippy…. Well Jerry G has passed away but I am suere we culd stil be looking at Tommt Chong here!!!!

Love it!!!!! – and theresa warning here…. be careful what berries, plants and shroonsyou consume!!!!!

I’m sure he’s well versed on pharmetological lore, and perhaps this is a logical evolution, as Blue Man is always a courteous and respectful tourist, not like most!

Classic…........................love this, I have a friend with this Combi

It’s so funny to me how well this vehicle goes with this little guy, almost used something else! Thanks!!

I absolutely love this! This is me about forty years ago. This is exactly the first vehicle I ever owned, and at a time in my life where I moved from the big city to the forest. Maybe it should be Drew Man 01! LOL

Oho, there are SO many comments about this very vehicle, it’s the very one I wanted but never had!! But when I was hitching around the country, if I ever saw one of these or anything close, instant ride!! Thank you, Drew!!

my x huzzban and i had one of these,same colors!

Wow, another former van owner, boy did I pick the right vehicle for the little blue guy!!

Very cool!

And I thank you, sort of me in the blue guy, except I’m not shiny!

Took me forever to scroll down on this one Syd!

Very nice.

Thanks, man! Is this an older bus than the one in your shirts? Turned out to be a perfect choice for the little Blue Man, I always wanted one myself.

interesting atmosphere

Thank you, supposed to be early morning!

Excellent lol !!! LOVE this!!!

Thanks, you would hardly believe how many people have mentioned, ” hey, I had a VW just like that!!”

Reminds me of an acid trip I took once upon my youth. Nicely done.

Thanks, I think he represents some of the hitching travels I made during the 70’s.

Cool…..

Thanks Kenmo, it’s the van I always wanted but never got, but in the comments above, the number of folks who Did have this is amazing!!

What a wonderful imagination you have…

Love the VW micro bus. Had one when I was a kid/hippie.

Wow I looove this!
Your work is fantastic :o)

Wow Syd! I love your imagination…..just incredible but yet so real! I really like your profile painting of you in watercolor too, so I just had to see all your work. Very very nice!

I love it…how wonderful, I hope there is such a warm reception when they arrive…

You would have to be an alien to drive a VW microbus…....Love it.

very good i do like it alot….......your so funny

I learned to drive in a 1970’s VW Bus like this. But I was GREEN at the end of it, what with the traffic and my shrieking, nervous father, sitting shotgun!

Nice one….like it a lot

I just want to walk straight into this one! Love the colours, foliage…everything!

:)

This is awesome. Love everything about it. It’s very comical and i really love that about it. Definitely a favourite. :-)

Ohhh, this is a great day after all!
