Here's your chance! In conjunction with Maker Faire, HEYA (Toyota's collaborative youth program) is hosting an interactive art car build with Harrod Blank, art-car artist extraordinaire. Blank is the dude behind the Camera Van, which will be cruising through central Austin tomorrow—so get out your, uh, cameras.

The build will run throughout the weekend, and anyone attending Maker Faire can participate. The goal is to transform a Toyota Matrix into a "music-themed piece of art celebrating musical heroes." The car will feature images from album covers, sheet music, photos, guitar picks, and more. And that's where you come in! Your music memorabilia is needed to cover the car. The whole world seems to know we're the weird, live music capital of the world; now the gauntlet has been thrown for us to build an art car.

You know, to represent.

"Anything related to music and your music heroes is great.... Bring as much as you want—we do have an entire car to try and cover in just two short days!" Drop a few in your bag before heading out to the faire!
