X-WR-CALDESC:This traveling exhibition is on view in the main gallery at th
 e Carbon County Arts Guild. \n\n“Pop Cars” started as a scribble of Homer 
 Simpson on a daily-log sheet in February 2018 during a snow flurry in nort
 hwest North Dakota. Those lines etched on the back of a trucker’s daily lo
 g sheet soon called for a portrait of Homer and the seed for Pop Cars was 
 planted. From there\, the idea grew to encompass other pop culture figures
  who could get behind the “Pop Car” wheel. From a time-traveling Delorean 
 to the Renaissance Man’s ornithopter gliding along the current of Fibonacc
 i’s spiral\, each of the characters that Schroer places in his artwork are
  defined by their choice of vehicle. \n\nA “Pop Car” is an illustrated pop
 ular-culture character biography defined by his vehicle of choice with a p
 op art aesthetic. It fits into the larger genre of pop art-imagery used fr
 om mass culture\, popular advertising\, comic books\, and entertainment. T
 hey are created using mixed media illustration drawn on top of the truck s
 top log-sheet. Color pencils begin the sketch\, then drawing pens ink the 
 outline along with brushed India ink to give the artwork the comic book ae
 sthetic. The art is colored using colored pencil\, Prismacolor marker\, ch
 alk pastel\, or watercolor. The lettering is hand drawn using Micron pens 
 and a sewer’s ruler for spacing. The word bubbles are often rubber cemente
 d on using a multitude of bright colors. \n\nMack found his calling on a r
 anch in Berryton\, Kansas through comic books and animation. His love for 
 visual narrative evolved in illustration\, 2D animation\, and graphic desi
 gn. He graduated from Washburn University with a Bachelors of Fine Arts in
  Studio Art and Digital Design. At Rockhaven Films\, he helped direct the 
 company’s message through graphic design\, writing and storyboarding\, and
